Saudia Special Flight
they are selling the G 2 & 3's.
Keeping 6 GIV's
the Hawkers and 5 x 7X's start 2009
It will be a charter company but run by the same set up and as all government institutions are, dont expect service to be at the front of the list.
SSFS have been a great privately managed company for over 20 years....... chasing charter clients or making incme is not on the program....... But interesting they went for Dassualt and not G 550's.
I got this from a GIV driver a month ago

No APU
Glass Cockpit yes! APU. Not ordered. too bad. As usual, nobody putting the orders together asked the pilot types for a feedback. At least the airline knows the planes are coming. When the first G-2's arrived in l976, nobody knew it. They were just delivered to JED by factory pilots, who had to fly them until Saudia pilots were trained. But times have changed.
