FARNBOROUGH 2008: Saudi Arabian stays with CFM56 for extra A320s

Saudi Arabian Airlines has selected the CFM International CFM56 powerplant for the 22 Airbus A320 aircraft it has on order from the manufacturer.

The Jeddah-based flag-carrier has already chosen the CFM56 for 20 leased A320s which the airline has agreed to take as part of a short-haul fleet renewal.

CFM values the follow-on selection at around $300 million at list prices.

Saudi Arabian Airlines, which firmed the 22-jet deal in December 2007, is to begin taking delivery of its new aircraft next year.
