The new carrier, wholly owned by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), is looking for about 300 to 400 single-aisle jets in total, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Airbus SE (OTC:EADSY) could also claim a part of the order, the report added.

Boeing, Riyadh Air and PIF did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Boeing previously won another order by state-owned airline Saudia and Riyadh Air for a combined 78 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, the fifth-largest commercial order by value in the plane maker’s history.
