Flyadeal to add Premium Economy seats on A330 fleet

Saudi low-cost carrier Flyadeal will introduce a two-class cabin on its new Airbus A330-900neo aircraft in 2027, to be deployed on long-haul routes.

 

The airline will take delivery of 10 new A330s in summer 2027, each configured with 406 Economy and 14 Premium Economy seats. The seats will feature ergonomic recline, adjustable headrests and in-seat chargers.  

 

Italian firm Geven will install the Premium Economy cabin in a 2-3-2 layout, while Chinese manufacturer Jiatai will customise Economy seats in a 3-3-3 setting. The seat configuration was confirmed at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg.

The airline continues to expand its network, recently introducing new services between Jeddah and Dubai, alongside Riyadh and Neom.  

 

Flyadeal’s expansion comes following record performance in 2025. The airline transported more than 10 million passengers, marking a 33% increase from 2024.
