Air Arabia in early talks to buy 100 aircraft | GulfNews.com:

Air Arabia, the Sharjah-based low-cost carrier, is planning to purchase at least 100 aircraft in 2019 as it aims to expand its fleet and replace old aircraft.

Adel Ali, chief executive of Air Arabia, said on Sunday the airline is currently in talks with manufacturers including Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer, but that it has not finalised its decision on which aircraft model(s) it will order.

“We’re due to make an order. We need an order to replace the existing airplanes in the next few years. We’re looking at A320s, A321s; we’re looking at Boeing, the CSeries, the new Embraer — we’d be naive not to,” the CEO told reporters.
