Might have to take our Hawker to Saudi in early June.
I have not been there for some time, has anyone got any recent practical bizjet experience of operating there? It looks like we will be flying there internaly for about 4 days and then returning to Blighty.
Thanks Guys...

Been out there a lot, but not for more than a night at a time......Jet Aviation might have different views as to security, but like all odd location, blend in, keep your head down , and watch out for the sand, it gets everywere.................A good handling agent is the key.......
Enjoy the weather, and keep safe out there.....

Can recommend Arabasco for handling Cambioso.
Services improved no end and their Jeddah base is taking work from Jet at some pace....Good luck!
If you are heading for Jeddah, I would suggest bringing an external cockpit glass cover to avoid windshield damage caused by stones.
I would suggest the Hilton Hotel on the north corniche, they appear to want corporate crews to stay there and offer a crew room with internet, tea, coffee etc.

Thanks a lot for the advice Chaps ....
Looks like the trip is now on so your words are very relevent and most welcome.
I guess the real reason for the post was to persuade myself that it was still reasonably safe out there what with human fireworks and all!!
Anyway, my long suffering wife informs me that all my life insurances are up to date!!
Thanks for the message 4HP.
