Flyadeal to operate 50 aircraft by 2020
Flyadeal will operate a fleet of up to 50 narrow-bodied aircraft by 2020, Saleh Al Jasser, DG of Saudia, said Monday. Flyadeal, a subsidiary of Saudia’s holding company, was unveiled last week and will serve the destinations in the kingdom and the wider regional market. It will start operations in mid-2017. Saudia executives are currently deciding whether Flyadeal will operate either Airbus A320 or Boeing 737 aircraft. According to Al Jasser, a decision is expected in the coming weeks on whether aircraft from an existing Saudia order will be transferred to Flyadeal or an entirely new order will be placed. Al Jasser said all aircraft used by Flyadeal would be leased and that the airline will service cities that are within a 4-to-5 hour flying time from its Jeddah hub in western Saudi Arabia. <br/>
