bmi has further
expanded its long haul network with the launch of a three-times a week service
from London Heathrow to Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia.
The launch of the
service builds on the first eight months of bmi's first Saudi route - London
Heathrow to Riyadh.
The airline says it has seen very positive load factors since its launch in
September 2005, with extremely strong demand for the business class product.
Flights to Jeddah will operate from London on
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday, with flights returning to the UK on Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.
“I am delighted
that we are building on our successful London-Riyadh service with the launch of
the London-Jeddah route. Today marks a further expansion of our long-haul network
from Heathrow and demonstrates our commitment to providing services between the
UK and Saudi Arabia,” says Nigel Turner,
chief executive of bmi.
