In 1985, as part of British Caledonian's strategy to link the World's oil capitals, it took over British Airways' highly lucrative routes to Dhahran and Jeddah (31 Mar), and became the first UK airline licensed to serve Riyadh (10 Aug), making it the sole UK flag carrier to Saudi Arabia. This set in…cludes in-house briefing documents showing BCal's wish to make this new service a success, going to great lengths to emphasise cultural understanding of Saudis, and prepare for "over exuberant" expats returning home from Eastern Province. These are extremely rare, with instruction to destroy all previous issues of the Brief. Also included are contemporary documents promoting the new passenger and cargo services.

The Route Station Instructions detail management, functions, layout, and facilities at King Abdul Aziz and Dhahran International Airports with notes on prohibited items, hotels, and the UK Ambassador.
