I recently had a very nice conversation with a leading Senior Accountant of Saudia of their JED head office and here is what he had to say concerning their future international expansion from this winter :
a) Twice weekly flights to Toronto in 2007 to be routed via Manchester using Boeing 747-300s or Boeing 777-200ERs. No 5th freedom rights avbl on MAN-YYZ-MAN but the MAN market for them is so huge that Im told to not be surprised if a B 743 is indeed used for this route.
