Saudi budget airline flyadeal is putting the finishing touches to a deal to order 10 Airbus A330neo jets in its first full-blown expansion into wide-body planes, as the kingdom pursues a surge of spending on aviation, industry sources said on Tuesday.

The low-cost subsidiary of state carrier Saudia is likely to unveil the order for the upgraded A330-900 variant in the coming weeks after comparing it with Boeing's smaller 787-9, and the first jets are expected to arrive in 2027, the sources said.
