In a social media post, flynas stated: “We have received at #flynas the 60th new aircraft of the modern and most fuel-efficient Airbus A320neo model, to continue strengthening our fleet, which currently consists of 66 aircraft, as part of our strategic plan for growth and expansion under the slogan ‘We Connect the World to the Kingdom.’”

The announcement aligns with the objectives of the National Civil Aviation Strategy, aiming to connect Saudi Arabia with 250 international destinations, accommodate 330 million passengers, and host 150 million tourists annually by 2030.
