MPS has been awarded a contract by Riyadh Air for an A321neo FTD-2 flight training device. The simulator will be delivered to support pilot preparation ahead of the airline’s planned A321neo aircraft entry into service in the fourth quarter of 2026. The A321neo FTD-2 will comply with Airbus Standard 3.0.
Riyadh Air is the national flag carrier of Saudi Arabia, with its main hub at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. The airline’s planned fleet includes Airbus and Boeing aircraft, including 60 Airbus A321neo aircraft.
Mattias Dufva, Director Training & Standards at Riyadh Air, said the airline’s planned expansion to more than 100 destinations by 2030 requires ongoing investment in pilot training facilities, supported through partnerships such as its agreement with MPS.
