Great news for BHX, two long haul announcements in a week....but I am intrigued to see how this will work out, personally I think it may struggle load wise to start with, given that summer temperatures in Saudi are pretty unbearable. I just hope it gets good marketing to raise awareness of the many connections that can be made through JED. If the price is right, it could attract India and Pakistan transfer traffic
I've got friends in Jeddah so I am going to do my bit and book a flight to visit in the autumn and make a holiday of it.
