"We are looking forward to upgrading and further enhancing our fleet,” said Wataniya Chairman Ali Al Fouzan . “The A320neo Family will offer our customers the most comfortable and modern cabins with 18-inch wide seats whilst ensuring profitability and efficiency.

With more than 5,200 orders received from 95 customers since its launch in 2010, the A320neo Family has captured nearly 60 percent of the market.
