Restarting, if it happens, will not happen quickly. The equipment is gone, the pilots, for the most part, are well on their way to securing other employment and the rest of the staff are trying to follow suit.

Manuals, training programs and documentation are all for 737 classic, to change those around to accommodate A320's (the rumoured aircraft choice before this all happened) would take several months of planning.

There is also the issue of branding, the travelling public will not quickly forget the Sama name and a complete rebranding would be a much smarter thing to do than try to resurrect the old name which took a beating over the years anyway.

The AOC is supposedly being kept open with a view to this restart, time will tell.

any news about sama ? :*

The news are:

Prince Bandar bin Khalid al Faisal and the former CEO Mr. Bruce Ashby, and the other 30 major Saudi private and institutional investors including Olayan Financial Co, Xenel Industries Ltd, Saudi Industrial Services Co, Sara Development Company Ltd and Modern Investment Company for Trade and Industries, are owing a small fortune to all their former SAMA employees, and looks like Saudi Arabia as a country itself, doesn't bother to have a royal family company cheating more than 600 employees from a variety of diferent nationalities including Saudis, not paying anybody; be careful when thinking about going to work there.
Until now, they are refusing to pay their obligations.
