Saudi Arabia’s Record-Breaking Aircraft Order Skips Boeing
Ibrahim Al-Omar, the head honcho of Saudia Group – the authority behind the state-run Saudia airline and the low-cost airline Flyadeal, declared on Monday that the first aircraft deliveries will happen during the initial days of 2026.
“Today, we witness the biggest aviation deal in Saudi history,” he said at the Future Aviation Forum in Riyadh, alluding to the agreement with Airbus in his speech.
Saudia Group’s present inventory includes 93 Airbus and 51 Boeing planes, according to their official website. This latest agreement contributes to the already-existing Airbus order backlog of 39 aircraft, the European aircraft producer announced in a statement.
