King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia brings 417Tonnes (metric tonne) and a gold escalator

King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia brings 417Tonnes (metric tonne) and a gold escalator

March 5, 2017 By bernard.montrel@gmail.com

There are some who do not have to worry about exceeding the 23 kilos in the hold. 1,500 people and about 460 tons of luggage. This is what King Salman needs when he decides to go to Indonesia for an official visit of one month. Yes, the Saudi monarch knows how to travel light.
On Wednesday, 1 March 2016, King Salmane began his expedition, organized with the aim of strengthening the economic ties of Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, the most populous Muslim nation in the world. To do this, he surrounded himself with an official delegation of 800 people, 25 princes and 10 ministers.
It took no less than 27 planes to get all this beautiful people to Jakarta. In addition to this modest delegation, nearly 460 tons of luggage made the trip. How is it possible ? Easy, with some Mercedes limousines and gold escalators for airplane descent, the weight is quickly reached. Most of the affairs have already been dispatched to the island of Bali, the king having planned to rest after the first three days spent in Jakarta.
