Saudia airline representatives recently visited Airbus’s factory in Hamburg to observe progress on their USD 19 billion aircraft order. The deal, signed in May, includes 105 new A320neo and A321neo planes for Saudia and its budget airline, flyadeal. This purchase aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals, aiming to expand air travel capacity and solidify the Kingdom’s position as a global transportation hub.
