(MENAFN) British Airways (BA) unveiled plans to boost capacity to Riyadh to benefit from an increase in demand on the route, Arabian Business reported.
Starting from October 28, a larger Boeing 747 will be used on the route in place of Boeing 777, which means more than 1,000 extra seats a week, the airline said.
In addition, the flight will be retimed and services will arrive at Heathrow in the early morning, enabling customers to land in time for a full working day in London, and increasing opportunities for connections, BA added.
The carrier’s economic unit bmi will stop flying to Riyadh and Jeddah from September 16 as British Airways already serves these routes.
Also bmi’s services to Dammam will be halted from September 16 due to poor revenue performance.
