Saudi Arabian puts over 40 MD-90s and 747s up for sale
By David Kaminski-Morrow

Saudi Arabian Airlines has put more than 40 of its aircraft up for sale including most of its older Boeing 747s and practically its entire Boeing MD-90 fleet.

The Jeddah-based flag-carrier is offering 28 MD-90s as well as nine 747-300s and five 747-100s. All the aircraft are owned by the airline.

Powered by International Aero Engines V2500 powerplants, the MD-90s are between seven and 10 years old. Saudi Arabian has configured them with 18 first-class and 103 economy-class seats.

Maybe Kalitta will let it be used on MythBusters again :P

I would like to see Delta jump for some of those MD-90s. Or even Midwest Airlines to replace the MD-80 fleet. But I think Midwest already order some 737NGs. So maybe if Delta was smart, they can add some more MD-90s to their fleet.

Those 90's are not common with the Delta 90's. They are common swith the MD-11. Systems etc are MD-11 at Saudi. This is what I heard but Midnight Mike could be able to tell us diffrent.

Speaking of which (and completely off-topic), tomorrow night's episode is "Airplane Hour".
