BA resumes Saudi flights after four years

British Airways has said it will resume flights to Saudi Arabia from London in March after a four-year absence, citing the increased importance of the oil market.

The airline will provide five weekly flights from London Heathrow to Jeddah and Riyadh.

"Resuming these flights makes commercial sense," said Robert Boyle, BA's commercial director. "The oil market is increasingly important globally and inward investment into Saudi Arabia has risen considerably in the last couple of years."
