Trying to find commercial air flight out of here or returning is next to impossible. It looks as though your company made a backdoor deal to capitalize on the lack of commercial flight availability. No doom here I'm afraid. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63872848 They don't leave Saudi for Eid. They leave KSA for the Haj. Before and at the end of July we could barely get a parking spot at LAX because of all the private jets carrying Saudis trying to get away from the Haj or return to the Kingdom when it ended. The company I work for makes billions of dollars a day. Don't think they are worried about making a few beans off expat Sauds. Never said anything about doom. I said it was highly unusual that our company has us schlepping Saudi families halfway around the world when Obama could not ride on our a/c if he wanted to. Trust me. They leave for Eid. I couldn't find a plane ticket out of here to Dubai even. I sat here for the 10 day holiday wishing I was somewhere else. The citizens of the GCC make a mass exidous during ALL Muslim holidays.. Both Eids, Ramadan and about 10 other yearly Holidays. And no Saudi Air Bases are not all that secure and locked down like American Air bases. I can definitely see them allowing citizens to land as the commercial airports are booked to the max. And as I'm sure your airline is in the business of making money and not flying for charity I don't see why they wouldn't fly a few Saudis home for the right price. Especially if they needed the planes here anyway to pick up other passangers. |

I'm just stating what's happening, not why it's happening. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63655429 Tomorrow morning we pick up our 3rd load of Saudi nationals at Atlantic Aviation at LAX airport. This is extraordinary because we are an N-registered, private aircraft. We're owned/operated by an oil company. We ONLY carry our oil company exec's and VIP's, not Saudi families with no connection to our company. We're also a Part 125 operator, strictly not for hire. Not sure if we're operating outside our charter or not. Flights have been to Le Bourget in Paris. Some pax get off, some pax get on. We fly them to Dhahran (OEDR) where we unload. We can't stay on the air base so we have to reposition the aircraft to Dammam (OEDF), stay overnight in Dammam, then head back to the states by way of Shannon, Ireland for refuel. Dhahran is unusual because it's a strictly controlled military air base in Saudi. We're dropping off civilians, not military personnel. Not going to hypothesize why the taxi service, just not part of our normal job. Not going to say which oil company or N number. Want to keep my job. We are a wide body, based in the US. The Saudis have their own jumbo jets. Why do they need a private company to fly them? "My mom said the only reason men are alive is for lawn care and vehicle maintenance." |

User ID: 48442288 ![]() 10/12/2014 11:11 AM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Curious. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63464915 How can you be sure they are not military? Also, are they in good spirits or is there an ominous air in the cabin? - I know its tough to gauge but still. When was the last flight? We departed LAX last Tuesday for ME. Families with children. No filipinos, sauds only. People seem fine. Saudis are strange ducks anyway. We're in LA tonight, leave again tomorrow. How long does it take you to ferry your pax from LAX to LBG? and then how long from LBG to DAM? Thank you. I came. I saw. I Concorde. For once you have tasted Concorde you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return.

Thanks for the heads up OP Why would Saudis move to the US if it was going to be under attack? That's ridiculous! The saudi king supposedly warned the of an ISIS attack last month Why would they be going to the US after that kind of a warning The more logical reason is that they ate fleeing the chaos and the power struggle that will esclate within the kingdom and then the entire gulf nations Thread: AHEAD of BRKG NEWS: Saudi King Abdullah Death Concealed Since Start of October-- Announcent By Mid-November. Saudis are fully aware that king Abdullah is the last king before the rise of Al-Imam Al-Mahdi ...when he rises , all will fall. |
