Farnborough: SaudiGulf selects IAE for new fleet engines
Saudi Arabian domestic start-up, SaudiGulf Airlines, has selected the International Aero Engines (IAE) V2500 engine to power four A320ceo aircraft and has also signed an eight-year V-Services maintenance service agreement with IAE.
“As a new airline, our success is dependent upon establishing a well-developed, quality fleet before we begin our operations,” said Tariq Al-Qahtani, chairman, of the Damman-based operator. “With the combined technology of Pratt & Whitney, Japanese Aero Engines Corporation and MTU Aero Engines, we know that we are powering and maintaining our aircraft with one of the best options on the market.”
The airline plans to begin operations next year.
