Hiya,
Let me start by wishing you all a nice Xmas...
Have forgotten to mention in this thread that HZ-BBK was ferried to JED on December 1st, using 'KSA' as ICAO (airline) code.
So the first two aircraft should be in JED now.
Bye, Chris.

Chabu,
2 aircraft parked in Jeddah, understand #3/4 are in Asia waiting.
Jetman61
With that package, crews should be happy to be DMM based!
The salary is poor, its even less than SVA!
16000 per month housing is good, but with no family status, 1 ticket per year and no monthly days off, i dont see crews attempting to make a career with SAMA.
Come on MANGO... you can do better than that

They Do Intend To Get Ng But Waiting To See How Things Go
It Will Be Good Because Any One Can Beet Sv And As U See Tons Of People On The High Way Will Welcom The Low Cost..but In Aviation It Is The Start Not How Things Go

Jetman61 stated that housing/transport was 16000 SAR ($4266)
R&F stated that housing/transport was ($2400) 9000 SAR......
Thats a big difference gentlemen
Westerners should be advised to live in a guarded compound and not a street side apartment, these compounds aren't cheap!
Based upon Jeddah prices, they are about $1000 per month for a 1 bedroom, or $3000 per month for 3 bedroom top range.
Cars, DMM airport is about 60 kms from civilization, so a dependable car will be advisable. A new sportage 4 wheel drive is about $350 per month, petrol is cheaper than water at 0.8C per litre (Starting Jan 1).
Schooling is expensive, $10,000 per year per child for a western school.
Internet, $80 per month.
11 months in Kingdom before vacation is impossible !!! Western temper glands arent that strong!
Now can anyone please explain to me how the low cost concept is going to work over a route structure WITH NO PASSENGERS?
Good Luck....

Sama are really bullish. They're building their network really quickly, opening 7 routes in one month. And free tickets to stimulate interest. And now Saudia joining the battle.
Interesting to see how NAS responds. They probably need some more planes. There isn't much room to expand with only 2 planes.
Interesting times indeed.

Tried booking JED-DMM at the end of Mar and the end of Apr....
In April there is 1 day with free flights, the rest are 289.00 or 309.00 each way for a non refundable ticket.
Is this LOW COST? SVA is 780.00 return for a full service airline!

Fools,
I really expected cheaper fares, I searched for "lowest fare" between now and July, only found 2 days with free tickets all the rest were AT LEAST 289+1.
From what i have seen in this part of the world, Saudis do not like to plan ahead, they want to go to the airport and get a flight now. They are in for a shock when they try this with the Lo Co companies
It will also be interesting to see how they deal with passengers when they have to divert due to summer sand storms in DMM.
As for SVA, no other information

Sama Fleet
Hi there
Can anyone pls tell me the current Sama fleet details?
How many 737s and how old are they? If possible, registrations or MSNs too. I could only find pictures of one a/c on their website.
Cheers
