Jan 23 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's low-cost airline Flynas is
in talks with Airbus Group SE AIR.PA , Boeing (N:BA) Co BA.N and
Bombardier Inc BBDb.TO about a potential order for 100 new
aircraft, after the carrier posted a profit in 2015 for the
first time, according to a Bloomberg report on Saturday.
Flynas Chief Executive Paul Byrne told Bloomberg in an
interview on Saturday in Bahrain it was considering purchasing
or leasing 60 new planes in the next five years with an option
for 40 more.
"We're talking to Airbus, Boeing and Bombardier about
purchasing or leasing depending on which is the best deal for
us," Byrne said. "If we were to change from Airbus to Boeing or
Bombardier, that will be a big move for us but it's not as
dramatic as it sounds."
Boeing declined to comment on the report while Flynas,
Bombardier and Airbus could not immediately be reached for
comment outside of regular business hours.
