Fleet

[edit | edit source]

As of September 2025, flyadeal operates the following aircraft:[19][20]

flyadeal fleet
Aircraft Total Orders Passengers Notes
Airbus A320-200 11 — 186[21]
Airbus A320neo 30 15 186 Order transferred from Saudia.
Further options for 20 aircraft.[22][23]
Airbus A321neo — 39 TBA Order transferred from Saudia.
Deliveries from 2026.[23]
Airbus A330-900 — 10 TBA Order with 10 purchase rights.
Deliveries from July 2027.[24][25]
Total 41 64

On 7 July 2019, flyadeal revealed its intention to order 30 Airbus A320neo aircraft with a further 20 options. flyadeal had previously committed to the Boeing 737 MAX, but chose not to firm up its equivalent order of 30 aircraft and 20 options due to the Boeing 737 MAX groundings. Boeing attributed the decision to "scheduling requirements".[26][27]

In July 2021, it was stated that flyadeal would start taking delivery of A320neo aircraft later that year as part of an order for up to 50 aircraft. The low-cost airline's future plans call for a fleet of 100 aircraft.[28]

On 23 April 2025, after a long deliberation between ordering either the Airbus A330neo or the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, or simply transferring Boeing 777 aircraft from Saudia for dense long-haul routes, flyadeal ordered 10 A330-900 aircraft for those targeted newer markets, citing the Dreamliner's lack of adequate capacity in dense configurations and its long delivery wait time, and the 777's inability to fill its large capacity.[24][25]

Incidents

[edit | edit source]

On 10 February 2021, a flyadeal Airbus A320 registered as HZ-FAB was damaged in a Houthi drone attack at Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia.[29] No injuries or fatalities were reported. The aircraft was subsequently repaired and returned to service.[30]
