Riyadh Air COO: narrow-body jet order not finalised

DUBAI, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Riyadh Air Chief Operating Officer Peter Bellew said on Monday that the Saudi Arabian state-owned airline was still in talks over a future narrow-body aircraft order.

Bellew, speaking at the Dubai Airshow, declined to say when the airline, which is scheduled to start operations in 2025, would place that order.

Chief Executive Tony Douglas this month said the airline would buy a "sizeable" number of narrow-body aircraft in the coming weeks. (Reporting by Pesha Magid, writing by Alexander Cornwell, Editing by Louise Heavens)
