It recently joined the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and operates over 40 aircraft. Flynas, another Saudi airline, ranks fourth for its young fleet age, with a focus on low-cost travel and plans to expand its fleet significantly.

As economies improve, more travelers are accessing affordable flights. In 2025, global airline revenues are expected to exceed $1 trillion, showing a profit increase despite rising operating costs. Airlines in Europe and North America are notably benefiting from these trends, projecting higher profits per passenger in the coming year. Overall, the industry is set for continued expansion with many airlines focusing on modern, efficient fleets.
