Saudi Arabia’s aviation sector reached new heights over the past 12 months, marked by a surge in passenger numbers, a fleet expansion with new jet acquisitions, and strategic global partnerships.
These advancements are part of a broader vision to establish the Kingdom as a global aviation hub and a top-tier destination for travelers worldwide.
Saudi Arabia is investing billions of dollars as part of its Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy away from fossil fuels, boosting its private sector, and enhancing connectivity, as well as solidifying its role in the global aviation industry.
As part of this plan, aviation goals for the Kingdom include delivering seamless experiences to 330 million passengers across over 250 destinations, and the transportation of 4.5 million tons of air cargo by 2030.
“This transformative strategy offers lucrative opportunities for the private sector to contribute to the realization of the country’s ambitions,” said President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Duailej.—AN
