Low-cost Jeddah-based airline flyadeal has signed a long-term flight hour services (FHS) agreement with Airbus to support its A320 fleet.

The agreement includes the 1,000th aircraft supported by Airbus Flight Hour Services.

The Saudi Arabian Airlines-owned carrier will benefit from integrated material services including spare pool access, on-site-stock at the main base and components engineering and repairs, Airbus said.

Through the FHS contract, Airbus will guarantee spare parts availability, contributing to securing aircraft technical performance.

“Signing this agreement with flyadeal is an important milestone; it is the first FHS contract in Saudi Arabia and the biggest Airbus aircraft fleet to be covered by FHS,” said Airbus’ president of Africa & Middle East Mikail Houari.

“We are proud of our partnership with flyadeal and look forward to continuing working together. This agreement reaffirms our commitment to supporting Saudi Arabia’s aviation sector.”
