Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA) has received a new Boeing 777 ER300 aircraft as part of its new 20 aircraft fleet from the aircraft manufacturer. Abdul-Aziz Al-Hazmi, Deputy Director General, said this is the fifth Boeing 777 received and it will be added to the 57 other new aircraft. He said choosing the aircraft models is done according to a strategic plan to update the fleet in a way that meets increasing operational requirements in both domestic and international sectors. The new aircraft received by the company has a capacity of 314 seats of which 30 are for business class. Saudia will receive eight more Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, he said in a press statement published today. Saudia launched recently its three-month-long summer plan offering more flights to major domestic and international destinations including New York, Washington, London, Paris, Kuala Lumpur and Geneva to meet the rush of the peak holiday season.
