Is it Saudi airlines Boeing 747-400 safe?

Saudi Boeing 747 fleet is an average of 22.7 years old.

Is it safe to fly with this bird?

How are the 747-400 serviced? Are the birds in acceptable shape?


Considering to fly ex Europe to Manila. From Riyadh, Jeddah to Manila airplane is Boeing 747-400.

I read bad reviews about transfers there, services in the airport and in the air.
My main concern anyway is SAFETY in the air.
Can anyone give me any additional information?

Round tickets ex Europe to MNL are (many days) 300-500 eu cheaper than with next cheaper airline. Where is the trick?
Hope is just the "service" not a safety issue .
