flynas, a Saudi air carrier and the leading low-cost airline in the Middle East and the world, took delivery of the 53rd new aircraft out of its order for 120 A320neo aircraft from Airbus.

The move is part of flynas' "We connect the world to the Kingdom" strategic plan that is in line with the National Civil Aviation Strategy to connect Saudi Arabia with 250 International destinations, accommodate 330 million passengers, and host 100 million tourists yearly by 2030.

The 53rd airplane of the next-generation model touched down at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. This will consolidate flynas' position as the leading low-cost airline in the Middle East, and one of the top four low-cost airlines in the world, according to Skytrax.

In parallel with upscaling the flynas fleet, taking delivery of the new aircraft contributed to generating hundreds of quality jobs in the aviation sector directly and indirectly, as flynas recently announced the opening of applications in several programs, including the Future Pilots Program, Future Engineers Program, and the Cabin Crew Program for Saudi men and women.

Boosting A320neo aircraft share in the flynas fleet reinforces the leading low-cost carrier's commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. The A320neo is considered the most advanced, environmentally friendly, and fuel-efficient single-aisle airplane worldwide.

Saudi Minister of Economy and Planning Faisal Al-Ibrahim said that Saudi Arabia plays a pivotal role in achieving global climate-related goals, with more than 80 initiatives and investments exceeding $180 billion to develop the country's green economy, in addition to establishing its position as a leader in renewable energy.

In a speech he delivered during the High-Level Political Forum for Sustainable Development 2024 in New York, Al-Ibrahim stressed that Saudi Arabia is working to enhance sustainability locally, and is following an approach that includes all aspects of the economy and focuses on people to achieve the latent potential, in line with the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030.

“In Saudi Arabia, we realize that sustainable progress depends on creating and exploiting opportunities to improve the general standard of living and enhance the quality of life.”

Al-Ibrahim stressed the importance of developing a system for prioritization that enables countries to focus on the most effective policies and optimal solutions that achieve the maximum impact for the largest number of people within the shortest possible time to accelerate the pace of progress.

The Saudi delegation is participating in the 2024 High-Level Political Forum, which is being held at the United Nations headquarters in New York from July 8 to 18, under the slogan “Promoting the 2030 Agenda concerned with sustainable development and eliminating poverty in light of multiple crises.”
