FIA2018: Wataniya Airways to add 25 A320neo

At the Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) today, Rakan Al-Tuwaijri, Chief Executive Officer of Golden Falcon Aviation - the exclusive aircraft provider of Wataniya Airways - and Eric Schulz, Airbus Chief Commercial Officer, signed a firm order for 25 Airbus A320neo family aircraft.

The order follows an earlier MoU announced at last year’s Dubai Airshow.

The A320neo family aircraft will support the airline’s vision to become the fastest growing and leading airline in the country.
