Not a lot of hours on the Saudia Tristars but many cycles as they were used for mostly domestic flights.
Same as the 747 classic is being used now in KSA.
Have over 3,000 hours on them myself.
Jed-Med-Jed-Med etc.
When I was flying them here we only had 2 international routes. Jed-Fra and Jed-CDG.
I am also told that none of them have the rear spar mods that is required for them to continue flying.
Not sure how much this cost but am told its very expensive.
In some cases more than the aircrafts value without engines.
Maybe some one in the engineering feild can comment further.
Was a great aircraft though.
