Sign InReflecting a robust recovery in global demand for long-haul aviation, Airbus is in advanced discussions to sell A330neo wide-body jets to Saudi low-cost carrier Flynas and Germany's Condor. According to reports, the aircraft manufacturer is looking to secure these orders to bolster its A330neo program's backlog. These negotiations are part of Airbus's ongoing efforts to expand its market share across the Middle East and Europe.
This news comes amid intense industry competition, as Boeing recently announced strong orders for its rival 787 Dreamliner, placing pressure on Airbus to secure new commitments. Per market data, Airbus recorded strong deliveries in the first half of 2026, while airlines like Condor are seeking to modernize aging fleets with fuel-efficient aircraft that reduce operating costs by up to 25% compared to previous generations.
Airbus stock (AIR.PA) closed at 195.38 EUR (close July 15, 2026), with the shares trading between 192.52 and 196.70 EUR during the session. Investors are closely watching for official announcements regarding the deal sizes and total values, which could serve as a positive catalyst for the stock in the near term as markets await Eurozone monetary policy updates to gauge future financing costs.
