WBT is active on Instagram these days and his 747 is flying footballers around the place operated by Skyprime and flown by an ex-Saudia crew.
MBS’s invitation to the Ritz resulted in a more than gathering some aircraft, it’s rather impressive to see how much land was reclaimed and how this is being used for the population. Use google maps to look at the old water plant as an example.
Hi Mutt,
Thanks for the info that WBT’s B747-400 is now being operated by Skyprime. What happened to the expat flight crew team that used to operate it?
Are Skyprime also operating that A340-600 that used to be operated by King Salman’s Brother, former Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Nayef?
What about the couple of private B777’s that used to be operated in & out of the Kingdom? I believe the Governor of The Eastern Provinces used to operate one and one of the sons of the former King Abdullah used to operate another-the one that had the wing tip scrape going into Le Bourget a few years ago? Are those private B777’s still being operated?
Good to hear that MBS’s seizure of some of the ill gotten gains are benefitting the population. I had heard on the rumour mill that changes over there are significant and rapid.
