Saudia Group has placed a firm order for 10 Airbus A330 <\/strong>Neos <\/strong>for its budget arm <\/strong>flyadeal<\/strong>, according to a press release<\/a> published last week. The order \u2014 to give the airline its first wide-body jet \u2014 has an estimated value of more than USD 2 bn and includes options for 10 more aircraft, flyadeal CEO Steven Greenway told The National<\/a>. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in July 2027 and conclude by 2029.<\/p>\n

Airbus over Boeing: <\/strong>Flyadeal selected the A330 Neo over Boeing\u2019s 787-9 due to earlier delivery slots, lower pilot training requirements, and better seat economics, Greenway added. Talks with Rolls-Royce \u2014 the A330 Neo\u2019s sole engine supplier \u2014 are ongoing, with local maintenance, repair, and overhaul agreements under negotiation.<\/p>\n

ICYMI- <\/strong>Saudi airline Flynas had placed a USD 30 bn \u201clandmark\u201d order<\/a> with Airbus for 30 wide-body A330neo and 130 narrow-body A320 aircraft back in July. The delivery schedule will run from 2027 to 2034.<\/p>\n

Airbus got something as well: <\/strong>The agreement will also see Airbus procure SAR 2.5 bn (USD 666 mn) of raw material \u2014 primarily titanium \u2014 from Saudi Arabia, Bloomberg<\/a> reported. Sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine war have limited access to key raw materials like titanium, driving up costs for aircraft manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing. <\/p>\n

This has been in the works: <\/strong>Saudi Arabia partnered with Boeing and Airbus to gain approval for locally sourced aluminum and titanium for use in their aircraft back in May 2024<\/a>, aiming to expand local production of aircraft components and support global manufacturers in overcoming supply constraints. The Kingdom also introduced last<\/a>November<\/a><\/a> plans to expand its titanium manufacturing capacity to meet estimated global demand levels of from 15k to 250k tons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
