additional Jeddah capacity - Nov/Dec 2008

There are a number of additional flights operating to JED over the coming weeks.  
Operated by B757 and A321 (narrowbody) aircraft, maximum weight of 150kgs per piece.
The flights are in Tradevision and available for booking. 

Following a review of long haul flying out of London Heathrow and Manchester, the following changes are being made:

• From January 2009, our Heathrow-Riyadh service becomes six times a week on an A330, with three services continuing onward to Jeddah and three services continuing onward to Dammam
  
• From Spring 2009, our Heathrow-Cairo and Heathrow-Amman services will be upgraded to A330 aircraft bringing a fully containerised aircraft to these routes
  
• On 14 January 2009, unfortunately our Manchester-Chicago service will end
  
• In April 2009, unfortunately our Manchester-Caribbean and Manchester-Las Vegas services will end

The decision to withdraw long haul services from Manchester was a very tough one, since we have operated these routes since 2001.  However, sadly, the routes have never performed to the revenue levels we hoped to achieve, which combined with 2008 fuel price increases means we still see little prospect of improvement.  In sharp contrast, our Middle Eastern long haul routes from Heathrow are performing exceptionally well and have lots of potential for growth in customer numbers and revenues, especially in the new premium cabins.
