Do British Airways nightstop Riyadh?

Hi

I am in discussion with my company regarding personal security in Riyadh where my company night stops down town.

I have been asked (in my position as an ex-pat Brit and very obviously European) 'do British Airways night stop Riyadh?'

It is my belief that BA do not night stop Saudi at all, could anyone who knows please confirm or deny my belief.

As it stands, I have refused to operate into Riyadh whilst the current security situation is as bad as it is.

When I was there in the 90's at least they gave me a gun and bullets, here, I don't even look like the rest of the crew.

Any help or constructive criticism would be gratefully received.

Thanks from steamy Bangladesh.

From
BA.com


Saudi Arabia Flight Changes
British Airways will adjust its flight schedule to Saudi Arabia from Wednesday 9 June 2004. Flights to Saudi Arabia will operate via Kuwait. Flights from Riyadh and Jeddah to London will continue to be non-stop. The new schedule will be in place until further notice.

Thanks for the help - that's exactly what I needed.

I can print out the BA website notice and submit that to support my assertion.

747-400 that don't go to RUH does it?

Regards

Brian

Its 777s to the Kingdom - sometimes a 767

Good Luck with your case
