Al-Qahtani Aviation, owner of SaudiGulf
Airlines, has signed an agreement to purchase ten Airbus A320neo
family aircraft.
SaudiGulf Airlines currently operates a fleet of
six A320 aircraft from its hub in Dammam. The carrier commenced
operations in 2016 serving domestic destinations across the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia prior to expanding to international
routes. In October, 2018 the airline launched its second
international destination with flights to four destinations in
Pakistan.
Sheikh Tariq Abdulhadi Al Qahtani, Chairman of
Al-Qahtani Aviation and SaudiGulf Airlines, said, “As a premium
service boutique airline we are excited to be adding the A320neo
to our fleet. This expansion is in keeping with our intention to
see the Saudi aviation sector continue to develop and grow in
support of the Saudi Vision 2030.”
Samer Majali, President & Chief
Executive Officer of SaudiGulf Airlines, said, “The A320neo family represents a natural
evolution of our current fleet of A320 aircraft and will
contribute significantly to our network expansion in the region as
well as internationally. This order will be
complemented with additional A320neo aircraft from the leasing
market.”
