I arrived at RUH airport at 11:10, the counters of SV of local
flights were open, No crows on the counters just a few
people.After passing the checking points I sat near the
assigned gate.
I saw SV B747-300 –
A300(rare sight indeed!!!) – MD90 – B777.
I ALSO saw 3 MD90s takeoff , one SVB747-300, and takeoff of a Sudan
Airway airbus. Our a/c was parked at the ramp which is like 5 mins
by bus from the terminal
At 12:45 they announced boarding at gate 37.took the escalators
downstairs,made a 90 then another 90 and taxied...i mean walked to the
gate.
then boarded the bus and slowly moved towards the ramp.
Exactly at 13:15 we pushed back and flight announcement
started. Our aircraft was under the command of Capt. Ali Qais.
Within
two min our pilots reached the holding point of runway
15L and stopped there for more than 15 min????? I was so angry
while we are waiting for takeoff. After 10 min an Md90 landed on
the runway then we entered the runway and from the first taxi way
turned back and taxied towards the ramp. During taxi the captin
announced that there was a very small technical problem and
would not
be more than 5 to 10 min for maintenance to fix it.
We parked again on the same
parking which we left before some time. The time was 13:45. Fixing
the problem took nearly 25 min.
Then we pushed back again at 14:10 and taxied to runway
15L then did a spectacular takeoff with full power of engines.
The flight was smooth with few clouds here and there.
After 10 min the seat belt sign turned off and flight service started.
I took some orange juice.
We were proceeding Qaisumah airport from the south but at the
very last moment the runways were switched,so we had to land from the
north.We flew over the airport did a 180 and made
a smooth landing at Qaisuma.
Finally we made a slow taxi to terminal building.The heat was a real
killer there.
thats it,hope you enjoyed.
