Saudia Hajj contracts

Every year Saudia hands out contracts to several Charter airlines for the Hajj. To name a few AirAtlanta, Onur air, European Air charter and Universal Air were awarded the contracts in 2003.

In 2004 Air Atlanta will definately make a comeback to Jeddah. Air Universal which operated a L1011 is getting a hold of two B747-200s for the Hajj.

Do any of you have more info on the upcoming hajj?

Is the Britannia crew based in Jeddah? Will that be the case this year? after the bombing in Riyadh

Probably best not to discuss your hotac plans for such a sensitive location in open forum. Its dangerous enough down there just now without advertising it.
