Boeing was snubbed by the airline that placed the record order

The latest announcement unexpectedly leapfrogged a possible order from Boeing

Saudia Group, owner of Saudia airline and budget carrier flyadeal, placed hefty order for 105 Airbus narrow-body aircraft. Order for 12 A320neo and 93 A321neo single-aisle aircraft is the largest in the country's history. The state-owned group said Saudia would be receiving 54 of the A321NEo jets.
