BA to stop flights to Saudi Arabia

BA said it will suspend flights between London Heathrow Airport and the Saudi cities of Jeddah and Riyadh from March 27 because of reduced passenger demand.
"The decision to suspend flights between the U.K. and Saudi Arabia is a difficult one," BA's director of commercial planning Robert Boyle said.
"However, the routes don't currently make a profitable contribution to our business and we are unable to sustain them while this remains the case."
Boyle said the Saudi market would be kept under review.
Customers with BA bookings for Saudi Arabia after March 27 will be contacted by the airline so alternative arrangements can be made, the company said.
BA operates four flights per week from Heathrow to Jeddah and three per week from Heathrow to Riyadh.
