Saudia Group has placed an order for 10 Airbus A330-900 aircraft for flyadeal, its low-cost subsidiary. This is flyadeal’s first widebody aircraft order, signalling its move into long-haul services.

The move supports Saudi Vision 2030 by expanding the fleet and enhancing connectivity to 250 destinations, targeting 330 million travellers by 2030.

The A330neo offers:

  • 7,200 nm (13,300 km) range
  • Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines
  • Airspace cabin with better lighting, space, and entertainment
  • 50% SAF-capable, aiming for 100% by 2030

Current Fleets:

  • flyadeal: 37 A320 Family aircraft
  • Saudia: 93 A320 and A330 aircraft
  • Previous major order in May 2024: 105 Airbus aircraft (including 54 A321neos for flyadeal)

Airbus views the deal as a boost to Saudi Arabia’s aviation ambitions and a step toward unlocking new global routes.
