Nothing like getting into a pissing match with the Saudi’s over human rights! However the King will disrupt the education process of 16,000 students just to exercise his power. So much for the New King’s liberal thinking! Maybe Canada should close the oceanic airspace they control in the North Atlantic to all Saudi aircraft forcing a much longer/expensive route to North America......but hey that’s not the Canadiian way.
Wouldn't that violate open skies agreements?
Not in their national airspace.
...while turning a blind eye towards China, India, et al.....
King? He's the Crown Prince.
