i heard nas and saudi are getting rid of their jungle jets because they are not SUITABLE for this region;i.e
ayload restrictions! and cargo pellet size..a318 would have been better,me thinks..same rating,nearly same spare parts,fleet commonalilty and all that stuff...flights on the a320 are always 80% full with cargo as well...so i dont see a reason to introduce a new type which is not suitable even from a passengers point of view and smaller just because the operating cost is 30%lower..genius sami has incurred more cost by continously changing interiors,changing the falcon to a chicken and giving out bonuses and expensive advertising,when all of this money spent could have been channelled in to a major rehaul of the current fleet to bring it on par with other gcc carriers who are light years ahead...
