British Airways announced it will resume its flights from both Riyadh and Jeddah to London starting from 29 March 2009. The airline will fly five times each week from both King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah to Heathrow Terminal 5, London. Flights to Riyadh will operate on a Boeing 777 and Jeddah flights will be on a Boeing 767. In a statement today, Robert Boyle, British Airways' commercial director, attributed the resumption of the flights to the fact that inward investment into Saudi Arabia has risen considerably in the last couple of years. British Airways suspended services to Riyadh and Jeddah in March 2005.
