Hi Mutt,
Skyprime has a couple of A340’s, and now also have that Dammam B777. The other 777 was scheduled to depart Jeddah about years ago, if never left nor did its owner.
What new airport ? There won’t be anything available by 2025 when they start to get their aircraft.
Thanks for the info on DG, Skyprime’s A340’s & B777. The other B777, that used to be operated by Prince Faisal bin Abdullah (King Abdullah’s son), is it just sitting there somewhere in the Kingdom? Jeddah perhaps?
The new airport I was loosely referring to is the planned King Salman International Airport (KSIA). Apparently it’s one of the cornerstones of MBS’s & the Kingdom’s economic regeneration & diversification strategy away from its reliance on a petroleum based economy. Obviously, KSIA won’t be ready by 2025, when RIA’s anticipated aircraft orders are planned to start to arrive but should be by 2030-which should be time enough for when RIA begins to move into its stride..
