Flyadeal has taken delivery of its second Airbus A320neo within two months, marking a significant expansion of its fleet.
Named “Al Qa’ad” after an Arabic constellation star, this latest addition brings the airline’s total fleet size to 34 A320 family aircraft.
Flyadeal’s fleet is among the youngest in the industry, with an average age of just over two years, comprising 23 A320neos and 11 A320ceos.
The A320neo is central to flyadeal’s operations, known for its fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness as one of the leading narrowbody aircraft in the market. The airline plans to receive three more A320neos this year, with an additional eight scheduled for 2025.
Steven Greenway, flyadeal chief executive officer, said: “The arrival of a new aircraft is always a moment of pride and celebration.
“Pride to join an ever-growing fleet and celebration of the tremendous work that goes on behind the scenes to meet tough delivery and planning schedules.
“Our latest acquisition also marks flyadeal’s second fully owned aircraft coming soon after our first delivery of the year in June.”
In a move to meet future fleet requirements, flyadeal placed its largest-ever order this summer for 51 Airbus A320 family aircraft, including 12 A320neos and 39 larger A321neos, further solidifying its commitment to expanding and modernizing its fleet.
