But the key point is that the Saudis mentioned in these accounts were not flown out of the country — they were assembled at locations from which they could be conveniently flown out of the country once regular airline travel resumed.

The terrorist attacks occurred on the morning of Tuesday, September 11. Air travel was immediately shut down for the next few days; limited flight operations (mostly commercial carriers completing interrupted flights from September 11 or repositioning empty aircraft) resumed on Thursday, September 13, and regular air travel (as well as private flights) began operating on Friday, September 14:
Boston's Logan International Airport reopened Saturday [Sept. 15], leaving Reagan National Airport at Washington the only major U.S. airport still closed to travel.

Federal officials also reopened the skies to most private planes for the first time since grounding them in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist attacks on New York and Washington.

Limited air travel resumed over the country Thursday [Sept. 13] and was lurching toward normalcy Friday [Sept. 14] and Saturday [Sept. 15]. The first flight from Logan airport left just before 7 a.m. Saturday for Chicago.7
No news account had a flight of Saudis leaving the U.S. until after the resumption of normal air traffic. The earliest date posited for a flight bearing bin Laden family members leaving the U.S. was September 14
