Riyadh-based Flynas is a low-cost airline previously known as Nas Air that flies to domestic Saudi and regional destinations.
Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal's Kingdom Holding Company owns just over a 34 percent stake in the airline. It announced the value of the deal Thursday but did not disclose details of the aircraft involved.

A slap in the face to America and an explanation for the continued butt-kissing by the French to Islam.
Good riddance to the Saudi a-holes! Boeing will survive and thrive in markets not controlled or heavily influenced by Prince Alwaleed and his American-hating lechers.
That's a bit harsh. Flynas currently operates an all-A320 fleet, so it makes sense to expand with more A320s for pilot training and ground maintenance purposes.
Alwaleed hates America and Americans. The fact that Flynas has dealt exclusively with Airbus is not because Airbus outcompetes Boeing. Boeing is competitive or superior across all categories.
Alwaleed is hell bent on hurting American markets until he hopes they might revolt amongst themselves and provide him a quiet opening to take control. That’s not opinion, that is fact.
Plenty of airlines use both Boeing and Airbus products and pilots have no trouble certifying on aircraft produced by either.
Flynas is expanding by more than 3-fold which indicates there’s a larger agenda here which is to spread Saudi influence. Fine, they can try to spread it but they reveal they will continue to snub American circles of commerce unless it should be an opportunity for them to seize control of a distressed situation which in all likelihood they helped to create or support.
The Saudis are not friends:
Their wealth is a result of American know-how and development by ARAMCO. They do not appreciate American goodwill and see it instead as a weakness that they are determined to exploit.
If they were smart which they are not, they would start to cultivate a true business relationship with American industries in trade for diversifying their own economy which is presently in shambles. Their ‘City of Technology’ is a massive failure because they don’t know how to integrate and compete. They are doomed by their own culture and ideology.
Their decision to expand their present fleet size by more than 3-fold with Airbus and not break ground with Boeing is in keeping with sticking their heads in the sand and fantasizing they are rulers of something. The French provide them continued policy hallucinogenics to feed their self-destructive fantasies.
When President Trump puts the screws to them in the Middle East he will simultaneously offer them an opportunity to deal on terms that are in America’s best interest. But they are stupider than stupid as a result of centuries of inbreeding (no exaggeration). So they will try to ‘save face’ against the ‘stupid satanic Americans’ by seeking whatever attention they can obtain that feeds their self-aggrandizement fantasies.
They're not even Saudis. They're either Soddies or Sowdies.
(Ska-rew 'em! Why honor the dirtbags with their preferred spelling)
