Saudi Carrier Flyadeal Ditches Grounded Boeing MAX for Airbus
Saudi budget carrier flyadeal has withdrawn a provisional order for Boeing's grounded 737 MAX jets, the U.S. plane maker said Sunday, as the airline confirmed a new order for Airbus A320 aircraft.
"We understand that flyadeal will not finalize its commitment to the 737 MAX at this time given the airline's schedule requirements," a Boeing spokesman said.
In a statement, flyadeal separately announced a "significant growth to its fleet, with an order for 30 A320 NEO aircraft, and options for a further 20 A320 NEO family aircraft."
