BMI has announced it will launch its new services to Riyadh in Saudi Arabia on September 1.

The thrice-weekly service will feature three classes and operate from Heathrow on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

The move – which sees bmi become the only UK carrier operating direct flights to Saudi Arabia – is part of the company’s long haul expansion.
