bmi chief executive officer Nigel Turner unveiled these plans at a press event in Egypt to mark the start of daily direct service from Heathrow to Cairo. The news comes shortly after bmi introduced 17 new routes, the largest ever expansion of its route network on October 28.
"This is one of the most exciting periods in bmi's 70 year history," said Nigel Turner.
"We have just introduced 17 new destinations from Heathrow at the start of the winter timetable including a daily non-stop service to Cairo. We are also delighted to be announcing further developments which are marking our transition into a truly global airline. Next year bmi will be serving 41 destinations from London Heathrow."
"Over the past two years we have established a highly successful presence in the Saudi market and are very pleased to extend services to include Dammam, strengthening our position in the region. Dammam is major center within the petroleum industry and is at the heart of key business and economic growth. This is the first of a number of new destinations which we are examining and we look forward to making further announcements soon."
