Riyadh Air announced an order for 60 A321neo jets from Airbus, marking a significant choice in a highly competitive market, especially after speculated deals with Boeing.
Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas expressed delays in the narrowbody order due to concerns over negative media context, highlighting the challenges faced by manufacturers during turbulent times.
Boeing's troubles, including a recent quality control incident, have compounded its challenges, emphasizing the growing backlog of commercial jets and its significant financial losses.
The announcement of the Airbus order coincides with Boeing's current difficulties, including a $6.1 billion loss last quarter and ongoing production limitations on their 737 Max jets.
