Will Begin Revenue Flights September 23
A newly established low fare airline in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) dubbed "flyadeal" has taken delivery of its first aircraft, and the first of eight Airbus A320ceo airliners on order, becoming the newest operator of the Airbus A320 Family.
Announced in 2016, flyadeal will commence operations on September 23, on the national day of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, serving domestic markets initially before expanding into regional markets.
Powered by CFM engines, the fleet will perfectly match the operational objectives and demands of the new airline. With 186 seats in a single-class configuration, flyadeal’s A320 features the latest Recaro 18” wide economy class seats providing unmatched comfort, and equipped with USB power outlets and personal device holders.
“Saudi Arabia has launched its Vision 2030; a strategic platform for the future development of the Kingdom where transportation and tourism are key pillars," said H.E. Mr Saleh Al Jasser, chairman of flyadeal. "The launch of flyadeal is core to the strategy to mobilize further the country and the region."
“flyadeal will be Saudi Arabia’s newest airline, providing a unique experience with an optimal fleet to serve our domestic and regional markets," said flyadeal CEO Con Korfiatis. The Airbus A320 has been distinctly selected for the needs of our operation, and we look forward to passengers experiencing flyadeal’s onboard service. Saudi Arabia and the region have a very young and digitally savvy population that has an increasing thirst for low fare travel domestically and across the region. flyadeal plans to serve and grow this significant segment of air travel.”
flyadeal has acquired the first eight Airbus A320ceo aircraft for its fleet from Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE).
