Air Arabia in early talks to buy 100 aircraft
Air Arabia is planning to purchase at least 100 aircraft in 2019 as it aims to expand its fleet and replace old aircraft. CE Adel Ali said Sunday the airline is currently in talks with manufacturers including Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer, but that it has not finalised its decision on which aircraft model(s) it will order. “We’re due to make an order. We need an order to replace the existing airplanes in the next few years. We’re looking at A320s, A321s; we’re looking at Boeing, the CSeries, the new Embraer — we’d be naive not to,” the CE said. “Currently, we’re just under 60 airplanes, and I can see by about 2025, we would probably be about 100 or 100-plus depending on what happens in the world.” He said a decision on the order is likely to be made in 2019. <br/>
