Saudi A300 status?

[SV_741_India_Bravo]

Just wondering about the status of the Saudi A300s....
Will they be sold to some one?
And what about the 737-200s?

[Fool 'n' Tameez]

I seem to remember that the 732s have been sold. I don't know about the A300s

Some are still flying as i have seen them in RUH ( Riyadh). On the other hand, i have spotted one sitting in DMM ( Dammam) with its landing gear tires sealed.

SV was i think the first carrier to buy the improved A300-600.

I also speculate that some might have been also on loan to some Turkish operators to fly Hajj with them. ( stand to be corrected)

A300's

Last time I was at JED there was one near 34C - is it Apron 11? Anyway, was all white with lots of bits hanging off.
An hour ago at RUH saw at least one on the apron....

I thought improved A300-600 was the latter varitey that have winglet fences, SV bought the first generation 600 series and Kuwait Airways had orderd them too I think.

mutt, why did SV pull out of Prague?

The SV A300's have glass cockpits with a 2 man crew, i believe that they were the first without a flight engineer.

As for Prague, No load, no suitable aircraft available SVA really needs to get something smaller than the B777 but with a better range than the MD90.

Speaking of which, there is a rumour that SV is the UFO in Boeing's order book for 30x 737 and 16x 787

Wishful thinking?
