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.

The Economic and Trade Committee of the Saudi-Thai Coordination Council held on Thursday its first meeting in Bangkok to strengthen trade relations between the two countries.

The meeting was attended by Saudi Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah and his Thai counterpart, Maris Sangiampongsa.

The meeting was chaired by General Authority of Foreign Trade (GAFT) Deputy Governor for International Relations Abdulaziz bin Omar Al-Sukran and Thai Ministry of Commerce Permanent Secretary Vuttikrai Leewiraphan.

The committee aims to strengthen trade relations between Saudi Arabia and Thailand by exchanging expertise; fostering cooperation in economic and developmental fields; promoting food, health, and halal products; advancing industrial development; involving the private sectors of both countries in trade fairs and conferences; and addressing trade obstacles and challenges facing both nations.

The volume of trade between Saudi Arabia and Thailand reached more than $6 billion by the third quarter of 2024. Prominent Saudi exports included mineral products and fertilizers, while major Thai imports to the Saudi market included automobiles and their parts, as well as machinery and mechanical tools and their components.
