Prince Fahd Bin Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Saud, the Assistant Minister of Defense and Aviation for Civil Aviation Affairs has praised the high percentage of 92.31% in on-time flight-schedules achieved by The Saudi Arabian Airlines (SAA) during the first half of 2004. On his part, SAA's Director General Dr Khaled Bin Baker thanked Prince Fahd for appreciating this success which was achieved despite the increase in SAA's operations. It is worth saying that the average of big American airlines' flight-schedule discipline is 82.60% according to the statistics of the American Aviation Transport Department.
