Fleet

As of December 2022, flyadeal operates the following aircraft:[7][8]

flyadeal Fleet
Aircraft Total Orders Passengers Notes
Airbus A320-200 11 — 186[9]
Airbus A320neo 16 15 186 Further options for 20 aircraft transferred from Saudia.[10]
Total 27 15

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".[11][12]

In July 2021, it was stated that flyadeal will start taking delivery of A320neo later in the year, as part of an order for up to 50 aircraft. The low cost carrier's future plans call for a fleet of 100 aircraft.[13]

Incidents

On February 10, 2021, a flyadeal Airbus A320 registered as "HZ-FAB" was reported damaged after a Houthi drone attack at Abha International Airport in Saudi Arabia.[14] No one was reported injured and investigations are still ongoing. The aircraft was repaired, and returned to service. [15]
