Now this aint good. I hope the AAI & Police become more proactive in this issue. It probably is from the hill next to the airport. Funnily Enough I had an laser attack while departing Dubai !!

Ah .. I ve had a laser attack & probably all my colleagues did on almost every landing and departure out of Riydah/Jeddah. No I am not kidding when I say every time. Some times even while cruising over riyadh you get hit by laser beams. The funniest is when I report laser activity to the Saudi ATC, I get a "uhhh roggjarr" !!

ps. In jeddah you ve got a shopping mall not too far from Rwy34R Approach that sends two powerful beams into the sky !!
