Saudia Remains Neutral on Boeing Aircraft Transfer Amid Sanctions Concerns
The airline has clarified details surrounding the recent sale of its former Boeing 777-200 aircraft, emphasizing that the transaction was completed in compliance with international regulations.
In a recent public statement, Saudia acknowledged that the aircraft were sold on June 7, 2023, to a company based outside Saudi Arabia. The airline highlighted that these proceedings followed all necessary commercial and legal standards.
Since the sale, Saudia confirmed no operational or commercial link has existed with the transferred aircraft. While the company refrained from disclosing the buyer or additional specifics, the move reflects a strategic response to ongoing regional tensions.
The carrier now emphasizes its commitment to maintaining transparency, especially as reports associate its fleet with sanctioned entities. This clarification aims to reassure stakeholders of its adherence to global regulatory frameworks.
