Riyadh Air, the new premium international airline based in Saudi Arabia, has placed a firm order for 60 A-321neo Family aircraft. The agreement was signed at the Future Investment Initiative (FII) in Riyadh, marking a significant milestone for the carrier. The signing ceremony was attended by His Excellency Yasir Al-Rumayyan Governor of the Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Chairman of Riyadh Air, Tony Douglas, CEO of Riyadh Air, Christian Scherer, Chief Executive Officer, Commercial Aircraft at Airbus and Benoit de Saint-Exupery, Executive Vice President Sales of the Commercial Aircraft business.

The A-321neo is the largest member of Airbus’ best-selling A-320neo Family. By incorporating new generation engines and Sharklets, the model brings noise reduction and fuel savings and CO₂ reduction compared to previous generation single-aisle aircraft, while maximising passenger comfort in the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky.

To date more than 6,700 units have been ordered by more than 90 customers across the globe.
