So I just heard that Saudia Group is close to making a massive jet order, but the details are behind a paywall. Typical, right? Anyway, it sounds like they might be expanding their fleet in a big way. I wonder what manufacturers they're looking at? Probably Boeing or Airbus, but who knows, maybe they'll surprise us.
I'm curious about what routes they're planning to cover with these new jets. Are they focusing on more regional connections, or are they eyeing long-haul routes to compete with the big players like Emirates and Qatar? Also, how does this fit with their Vision 2030 plan? I know they're trying to boost tourism and reduce their economy's dependence on oil, so maybe this is part of that strategy.
What do you guys think? Is this a smart move for Saudia, or are they biting off more than they can chew? And what about the competition? Can Saudia really stand toe-to-toe with the other big Middle Eastern carriers? Let's hear your thoughts!
