Orders placed for dozens of Airbus aircraft are being prepared by Saudi Arabian companies, according to a Reuters report citing industrial sources.
The multi-billion dollar acquisition forms part of the Kingdom’s strategic push to align with the rapid expansion of the regional aviation sector.
Saudi carriers aim to modernize and scale their fleets to meet surging passenger demand and bolster the country’s position as an emerging global aviation hub.
The anticipated deals signal Saudi Arabia’s aggressive investment in aviation infrastructure under its Vision 2030 economic diversification plan.
As regional competitors like the UAE and Qatar expand their air transport capabilities, Saudi firms seek to secure advanced aircraft to enhance connectivity, support tourism growth, and capture a larger share of international transit traffic.
