Saudi school holidays start at the end of June until September. There is no indication of BMI starting operations during this period, IF they start in September, they will have the joys of operating empty aircraft until next summer! The Riyadh route is governed by seasonal passenger movements, it isnt like Jeddah that has all year around religious traffic....
I hope for BMI's sake that they wake up to this reality and stay away from Saudi.
