Re: Saudi's On The Move
Pretty convincing thread...

However isn't part 91 private and part 125 commercial? I know within the commercial/for hire there are parts 121, 125 and 135 which relate to different commercial activities for Airlines but that only part 91 relates to general or private aviation

Re: Saudi's On The Move
They're returning from the Eid Holliday. The holiday was from the 2nd to the 12th of Oct. 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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 63655429


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.

Re: Saudi's On The Move
Take this for what it's worth. Draw your own conclusions. I'm just stating what's happening, not why it's happening.


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?

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.

and then how long from LBG to DAM?

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
