Airbus is in discussions with Saudi Arabian low-cost airline Flynas to sell additional A330neo widebody aircraft, according to industry sources. The announcement could be made as early as next week’s Farnborough Airshow, although neither Airbus nor Flynas has officially confirmed the deal. If finalized, the agreement would further strengthen Flynas’ long-haul fleet expansion plans.
Reports suggest that Flynas is looking to convert options for eight Airbus A330neo aircraft into firm orders. The move aligns with the airline’s strategy to expand its international operations as demand for air travel continues to grow across the Middle East. Airbus declined to comment on the ongoing discussions.
Meanwhile, industry sources played down reports that German airline Condor Flugdienst is preparing to place a similar order for the A330neo. Earlier media reports indicated that Condor was considering the purchase of around six aircraft, but no official confirmation has been provided. Any announcement related to the Flynas deal is expected to coincide with the Farnborough Airshow next week.
