Airbus has confirmed an order for 30 A320neo family aircraft from flynas , a leading low-cost airline in the Middle East, during the first day of the Paris Airshow. The order, valued at $2.4 billion at list prices, brings flynas' total commitment to the A320neo family to 120 aircraft.
The A320neo family is the world's most popular single-aisle aircraft family, with over 6,000 orders from over 100 customers. The aircraft offers a number of improvements over the previous generation A320, including new engines, Sharklets wingtip devices, and a new cabin interior. These improvements result in a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, as well as a 15% reduction in noise levels.
Flynas is a rapidly growing airline, with a fleet of 30 aircraft and plans to operate 100 aircraft by 2025. The airline operates a network of over 70 destinations in Saudi Arabia, the Middle East, and North Africa.
The order from flynas is a major boost for Airbus and the A320neo family. It is also a sign of confidence in the Middle East aviation market, which is one of the fastest growing in the world.
