MID EAST JET Info
 

Hello everybody,

Does anyone know about the future of the Jeddah-based
MID EAST JET?

Will the present reshaping of the Middle-East will have an effect on this company?

Thank you for your replie(s)...


FLEXJET

Not sure about the reshaping of the ME, but there are major changes in the National Commercial Bank with regard to ownership, IMHO this will have an effect on MEJ. Do a google search on Khalid Bin Mafhooz.

Now does anyone know where their B777 is???

Thank you for the reply Mutt.

Concerning N777AS, has it been delivered yet?

It is equipped with a Medical VIP Stateroom that is used as a VIP Stateroom, but if required it can be turned into a state of the art Medical Suite in under 2 minutes.
The Medical Suite is capable of treating critical or coronary care until the aircraft can land at a medical facility.
The 757 and 767 are fitted with this equipment as well.

Maybe still in outfitting in Dallas?

They had a problem on a test-flight recently. The Boeing pilots found some issue & the FADEC's or part of them have gone back to the OEM for calibration.

As far as I know it's in Waco, not Dallas.

Heard on the grapevine that the 777 may be leaving KACT on Monday and into operation.....

I wonder if they ever solved the problems with installing the bowling alley.........

I would also like to hear who is the owner, I dont mean MEJ, but the actual owner, any ideas?


Mutt.

I'll see what I can find out.....

I'll send you a PM once I know

I heard the MIDEAST JET crews are half Saudi/ half US citizen...

Main destinations appears to be:

London
Washington
Geneva
Long Beach

Beside their 3 Boeings, they operate 3 Global Expresses (all 6 aircraft acquired brand new!) and the Kalair 767 seems to be close to them.


Anymore info?

Yeah some of the crew are US, some Saudi, some Brits, some Pakistani, some Venezuelan, one American Samoan....

Cabin crew mostly Greek and Croat.

Main destinations are Stansted, Luton, Nice, Le Bourget, Casablanca, Beirut, the list goes on and on!!

Mid East Jet operate the 777, 767, 737's, and Midroc operate the 757, 727, and Global Express. One of the Global Expresses was sold to Tag Aviation Geneva.

Who does the flight ops work for the B777 N777AS


B_Salad

Hi,

I was on board the aircraft today. It is by far the best looking aircraft out there - beats all others hands down including the Sultan of Brunei's. It is simply amazing inside.

B_Salad - as for the flight ops work, if it is the same as the other MEJ aircraft then my office will take care of it, apart from on trips to North America.

Oh and there is a BBJ2 on the way - due for middle of 2004....

How come your office doesnt do the work for the B777AS when flying over to North America ??



B.Salad

Because they can do whatever they want!!

How's life in "Glasgow"?

Buzzz

Buzzz

Life in Glasgow is extremly cold and boring !!

Anyway I would think if a company like MEJ is giving you all their work and surely they would also give you the North America flights as well - Dont you think??

Hi Bobby,

Its their company policy, so nothing to do with me. Sometimes we do their trips to NA, sometimes not. Captains choice.

Hows everything at FMIE?
