AviLease delivers two Airbus A320neos to Saudi carrier flynas
AviLease, PIF-backed global aviation
lessor, has successfully delivered the first two of its 12 Airbus A320neos on
lease to Saudi carrier flynas.
The milestone delivery is the first
in the company’s history, following its launch in July this year. The leading low-cost airline in the Middle
East Flynas is expected to receive the remaining aircraft by the end of 2023.
The swift delivery speaks to the rapid expansion of the Saudi Arabia aviation sector, which will witness the region’s fastest passenger traffic growth through to 2040.
The Airbus A320neo is one of the most fuel-efficient, sustainable, and technologically advanced narrow-body aircraft on the market. This first delivery sets the tempo for AviLease, which is seeking to build a diverse portfolio of the most advanced, latest-generation narrow- and wide-body aircraft available.
Edward O'Byrne, Chief Executive
Officer, AviLease, said, “Today marks a significant moment in our story, and
speaks to the operational pace and excellence we have set for ourselves at
AviLease. From day one, we have focused on getting down to business, and these
two deliveries, within four months of beginning operations, are testament to
that. But this is just the start, as we look to support the burgeoning local
aviation sector and drive sustainable value.”
Bander Almohanna, Chief Executive
Officer and Managing Director, flynas, said, “As one of the leading low-cost
carriers in the region, we only seek partnerships that can significantly
enhance our services. Our agreement with AviLease is designed to support our
continued, sustainable growth plans through a modern and efficient fleet,
equipping us for the foreseeable future. There is more to come from all players
in this industry and we are proud to be a part of it.”
