British Airways to resume flights to Saudi Kingdom

British Airways plans to resume flights to the Saudi Kingdom, suspended in mid August over "security concerns", SPA reported Thursday. 

Citing a joint statement by Britsh Airways and the Saudi civil aviation authority, the report said BA had ascertained that security measures at Saudi airports surpassed even international standards. 

"British Airways asked the head of civil aviation (for clearance) to resume flights, and he secured the approval of higher authorities," it added. 

The report, however, did not provide details on when the British airliner would resume flights. (Albawaba.com)
