Saudi Arabian Airlines CE Jaan Albrecht said the carrier is evaluating a major widebody order within the next 6 months—which could be either an Airbus A350 or Boeing 787—and is considering new long-haul routes to North America. “We have successful Boeing 787 and 777 operations. I guess with 35 777s, we would have enough aircraft of this size in the fleet,” he said, adding that “maybe a smaller-scale aircraft, more like the 787 or A350, would be the right size.” Albrecht said Saudia took delivery of 82 new aircraft over the last two years, with 42 more to come within the next 2 years. These include the first of 3 Boeing 787-10s, which will come this year, with 7 more of the type in 2020. Currently, the carrier operates 13 of the smaller 787-9 variant. <br/>
