The Saudi Arabian Airlines said yesterday it would take delivery of the first of 15 Embraer 170 aircraft ordered from the Brazilian manufacturer in mid-November.
The second of the 66-seat planes will be delivered in December and two more in January 2006, said the Director General, Dr. Khaled Bin Bakr.
He said the remaining aircraft, ordered last April, would then be delivered at the rate of one a month.
