Saudia Group is in talks with Airbus and Boeing over ordering wide-body jets to increase its capacity as planemakers face constraints in production slots of narrow-body aircraft. The state-owned group, which owns Saudia Airlines and budget carrier flyadeal, last month ordered 105 narrowbody Airbus planes but had a requirement for 180, said Saudia Group general manager of communications and media affairs, Abdullah Alshahrani. Air travel is surging post-pandemic and demand for planes is outstripping production as supply chains struggle to ramp up at the same pace. Airbus in January said it is sold out until the end of the decade for single-aisle jets. SAUDI AIRLINES | flyadeal | Airbus | Boeing | #Aviation | #SaudiArabia

Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier, flynas, made a significant splash at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow with a monumental order for Airbus aircraft. The deal, announced on July 25th, marks a substantial investment in the airline's fleet expansion and growth strategy. Flynas signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Airbus for an impressive 90 aircraft. This order comprises 75 A320neo family aircraft and 15 A330-900 wide-body jets. Furthermore, the airline secured options for an additional 55 A320neo and 15 A330neo aircraft, potentially bringing the total deal value to an even more staggering figure. Flynas' order book now includes a substantial number (167) of Airbus aircraft. It is clear that the airline has made significant commitments to Airbus in recent years. This extensive order book positions Flynas for sustained growth and development in the coming years. #Airport #Airline #flynas #Airbus #Saudi #OEM #AviationIndustry #AviationOasis https://lnkd.in/eFAkbqcY

Etihad has achieved the qualification for its pilots to seamlessly operate both Airbus A350 and A380 aircraft interchangeably. This milestone positions Etihad as one of the pioneering airlines globally to attain such versatility in its pilot capabilities. Airline pilots are typically restricted to flying only one aircraft type. However, under certain conditions such as high similarity of flight deck, pilot procedures, and the implementation of special training, pilots may be enabled to operate two similar aircraft types through a dedicated programme approved by the aircraft manufacturer and the Civil Aviation Authority, known as ‘Mixed Fleet Flying’ or ‘MFF’. Mohammad Al Bulooki, chief operating officer at Etihad Airways said: "Etihad Airways is proud to be the one of the very first airlines to qualify its pilots to fly both the Airbus A350 and A380. “This achievement will enhance the resilience and flexibility of the airline’s network and is testament to our commitment to continuously push the boundaries of efficiency, innovation, and customer satisfaction, and at all times ensuring safety is Etihad’s number one priority.” Over the past decade, Etihad has obtained similar approvals to qualify its Airbus pilots to interchangeably fly the A320 and A330 types, A330 and A340 types, and its Boeing pilots to fly the 777 and 787 types, setting new standards for fleet commonality. Building on this legacy, the latest approval to fly both the Airbus A350 and A380 will further enhance the efficiency and flexibility of Etihad’s widebody network. https://lnkd.in/dBbFvuGp #airlinesandairplanes #pilots #aircraft #aviationindustry
