- ☀️ 2019 - 2021 ☀️ compagnia aerea low-cost saudita Flyadeal ha deciso di annullare ordine Boeing 737MAX a favore di Airbus A320neo - fanno sapere Boeing e la compagnia aerea saudita.

Abbiamo appreso che Flyadeal non finalizzerà il suo impegno per il 737MAX fino ad oggi - dati i suoi vincoli di programmazione - ha detto un portavoce di Boeing - produttore americano sta affondando nella crisi da quando il suo aereo di punta, il 737MAX, è stato messo a terra in tutto il mondo dopo che un volo della Ethiopian Airlines si è schiantato lo scorso marzo, solo pochi mesi dopo un altro incidente, Lion Air, in Indonesia (346 morti in totale).

☀️ In dicembre 2018 Flyadeal aveva disposto ordine provvisorio per un massimo di 50 Boeing737MAX, con un impegno su 30 velivoli e opzione per acquisto di altri 20 aerei, ha detto il portavoce.
Allo stesso tempo Flyadeal filiale della compagnia aerea nazionale Saudi Arabian Airlines - ha annunciato in un comunicato stampa una crescita significativa della sua flotta con un ordine per 30 A320neo ed opzione call per ulteriori 20 A320neo .

☀️Consegna degli aerei AIRBUS A320neo inizierà nel 2021.

Saudi Arabian budget airline flyadeal said on Sunday it had ordered 30 A320neo aircraft from Airbus, with options for a further 20 of the jets, cancelling its order for up to 50 of the U.S. aircraft maker Boeing737MAX jets.

Saudi Arabia’s flyadeal will not proceed with a provisional order for 30 Boeing737MAX jets, the U.S. planemaker said on Sunday after the airline announced it would operate an all Airbus A320 fleet.

Flyadeal began reconsidering a commitment to order the Boeing jets after two MAX aircraft crashed in Ethiopia in March and Indonesia last October.

- We understand that flyadeal will not finalize its commitment to the 737MAX at this time given the airline’s schedule requirements - a Boeing spokesperson said.

The provisional order, which included additional purchasing options for 20 MAX jets, was worth $5.9 billion at list prices.

The budget airline will take delivery from 2021 of 30 Airbus A320neo aircraft ordered by its parent, state-owned Saudi Arabian Airlines at the Paris Air Show in June it said in its statement.

- This order will result in flyadeal operating an all Airbus A320 fleet in the future it added.

The two 737MAX crashes killed a total of 346 people, triggered the global grounding of the aircraft and wiped billions off Boeing’s market value. Regulators must approve changes and new pilot training before the jets can fly again.
