This was my first flight with one of SV's new A320's. I was eager to see if there has been any real changes in their services and to check this narrow bodied jet configuration. At the end of the flight I had mixed emotions but leaning towards disappointment. I will leave it for you to decide!

SV 187 leaves terminal 2 on-time at 0745 taking off from runway 33R and leaving an otherwise quite RUH. Our 5 hour 30 minute flight took us northwards towards Turkey before reaching Europe and Bavaria.

Enjoy!

Thumbs up! - Comments are much appreciated.

  • I'm not sure if anyone knows this but Saudia's A320s and A330 are a mix of owned and leased planes. Some might not have TVs because they were leased from Turkish airlines until the rest of the planes they ordered arrives. On a different note, I took their A330 Dammam-Jeddah in business class. The service was good, with TVs, on board WiFi and you're allowed to use your cell phone during cruise. My only disappointment is that their business and first class seats are not 180 degree flat beds.

  • @SVnerd I believ the A320 designated with numbered registartions (eg. HZ-AS14) are on dry lease while those with letters are fully owned by SV (eg. HZ-ASB). I have been on both and the all have PTV ONLY in J class while Y class has none. Thanks for watching and commenting.. more SV flights and video on my channel!

  • i hate saudi A320 its sucks economy suck nothing to do D: there is no TV !!!

  • that was so funny

  • @mja72 Yes they are. SV was the launch customer of this type (not the far more common 600R) back in the early 80's with 11. They served mainly high volume domestic routes and some regional routes. I was surprised when SV retired them as they did abruptly in 2003-2004. they were old but not as old as the 732 (that remained for a year or two after) or the 741 that have been grounded and retired last year. These have been parked for a long time now, I don't see any potential buyers.

  • Aern't those SV's old A300-620's standing there next to the sole MD-90? I think they sold some of their A300's which ended up getting scrapped and the rest remain parked awaiting buyers.
