Golden Falcon Aviation, the exclusive aircraft provider of Wataniya Airways, has confirmed an order for 25 Airbus A320neo family aircraft.
The firm order was signed during the Farnborough International Airshow by Rakan Al-Tuwaijri, chief executive officer of Golden Falcon Aviation, and Eric Schulz, Airbus chief commercial officer.
The order follows an earlier memorandum announced at last year’s Dubai Airshow.
Wataniya Airways resumed operations in July 2017 and currently operates a fleet of four A320 family aircraft serving destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa and Asia from its home base in Kuwait.
The A320neo family aircraft will support the airline’s vision to become the fastest growing and leading airline in the country.
Featuring the widest single aisle cabin in the sky, the efficient A320neo family incorporates the very latest technologies including new generation engines and Sharklets, which together deliver more than 15 per cent fuel and CO2 savings from day one and 20 per cent by 2020 as well as 50 per cent noise reduction.
With more than 6,100 orders received from over 100 customers, the A320neo family has captured some 60 per cent share of the market.
