British Airways will resume flights to Saudi Arabia

London, November 27, SPA -- British Airways announced it will resume
its flights from both Riyadh and Jeddah to London starting from 29
March 2009.

The airline will fly five times each week from both King Khalid
International Airport in Riyadh and King Abdulaziz International
Airport in Jeddah to Heathrow Terminal 5, London. Flights to Riyadh
will operate on a Boeing 777 and Jeddah flights will be on a Boeing
767.

In a statement today, Robert Boyle, British Airways' commercial
director, attributed the resumption of the flights to the fact that
inward investment into Saudi Arabia has risen considerably in the
last couple of years.

British Airways suspended services to Riyadh and Jeddah in March
2005.
