BMI Saudi Flights
So what's the real story?
In June BMI announced they were increasing schedules to Saudi, plenty of fanfare and comments from Nigel Turner about "increased services" and "improvements to our schedules".
Now the detail is out it appears to be little more than re-routing the direct flights to Jeddah via Riyadh in both directions. So where exactly is the "improvement".
More likely this is part of a wider cost cutting/rationalisation exercise, with less than 50 on Thursday's JED flight the numbers can't be adding up.
