Saudi Arabia's national carrier, Saudia, is actively accelerating its fleet and network expansion plans. The airline is making significant moves, including major aircraft orders and pushing for faster innovation and technology adoption, all part of a strategy to strengthen its position and compete with major regional aviation players like Emirates and Qatar Airways.
Just last month, Saudia unveiled a substantial agreement with Airbus for up to 20 new wide-body A330neo aircraft. This included a firm order for 10 jets for flyadeal, Saudia's sister budget carrier, marking a 'milestone' expansion for their fleet. Looking ahead, Saudia is also set to embark on an ambitious retrofit programme for its existing aircraft.
According to Arved von zur Muehlen, Saudia's EVP and Chief Commercial Officer, there's more growth on the horizon. This year, Saudia anticipates receiving five new narrow-body aircraft. These planes will enable the launch of 10 new destinations during the summer peak, primarily targeting routes in the Mediterranean and Europe, including popular spots like Venice, Crete, Malaga, Antalya, and Bali.
