Saudi airline flynas in talks to exercise Airbus A320neo options
Flynas is in talks to exercise purchasing options, for some or all of 40 Airbus A320neo narrowbody jets, its CE said Monday. The carrier ordered 80 A320neo family jets in 2017, with purchasing options for an additional 40 aircraft. In June, it signed a preliminary agreement to swap some of those for larger A321 versions. "We are thinking to confirm part of the options but still we are in negotiations with Airbus," CE Bander Abdulrahman al-Mohanna said. The airline plans to make an announcement with Airbus Tuesday to "confirm a couple of things," he said, declining to comment further. As part the June agreement, flynas also placed a provisional order for 10 longer-range A321XLR jets. The airline, at this stage, will continue to use engines made by CFM International, in any potential order, Mohanna said. <br/>
