Spokesman: The Al Hilal Flight Delayed Out of Our Control

Fahad Bahdaily, deputy general manager of corporate communications at Saudi Airlines, on Wednesday attributed the theft of Al Hilal's first football team to Qassim Wednesday for an hour of operation.
"Hilal's special flight between Riyadh and Qassim was delayed for operational reasons and for only one hour, during which everyone was at home," Bahadila told Riyadiya.
He added: "Immediately after the preparation of the private plane, he boarded the Al-Hilal team and arrived at God save in Qassim early at night."
Bahdaleh underscored Saudi Arabia's commitment to the team's progress in all of its matches as champions of last season.
