MANCHESTER, England, Sept. 5, 2012/ PRN=KYODO JBN/ --
Route Exchange, the online platform for air service development, is
delighted to announce the commencement of a Request for Proposal (RFP) from
Saudia who are using the facility to support their network growth.
The national airline of Saudi Arabia, based at Jeddah-King Abdulaziz
International Airport, operates domestic and international scheduled flights to
over 70 destinations in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.
Mr. Mohammed Binhafeez, Senior Planning Specialist at recently rebranded
Saudia said: "We are re-structuring our network and looking forward we aim to
reach new destinations. In order to do that Saudia have invested heavily in an
expansion of our fleet. Moreover, the opening of the new Jeddah airport in
2014 will make links to new destinations and our current network more
efficient. We are using Route Exchange to reach new markets and welcome
airports worldwide to join the process to demonstrate what opportunities exist
from their markets to our bases."
Declan Maguire, Business Development Manager for Route Exchange stated:
"The Saudia Request for Proposals represents an excellent opportunity for
airports worldwide to pitch their route proposals directly to the planning team
of a highly successful Middle Eastern carrier. Saudia are prepared to listen
to any airport who can demonstrate strong demand between their market and their
Jeddah and Riyadh bases. Saudia have specific intelligence requests of
airports which are detailed in the full Request for Proposals (RFP) document"
Once airports have met the terms of the Prequalifying Questionnaire (PQQ),
they will then be sent the formal RFP where they can complete a pre-defined
data requirements and a proposal document. Saudia will then analyse the
submissions before scheduling meetings with potential new airport partners at
World Routes, The 18th World Route Development Forum which will take place 29
September - 2 October this year in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
