Saudi Arabia\u2019s General Authority of Civil Aviation is set to present over $100 billion in investment opportunities at the World Economic Forum in Davos, taking place from Jan. 20 to 24.
\nThe Saudi House Pavilion will serve as the venue for showcasing critical aviation projects, encompassing airports, airlines, cargo logistics, and ground services, according to GACA statement.
\nThese initiatives are central to the Kingdom\u2019s ambitious strategy to establish itself as a global aviation hub.
\nAccording to the statement, at the heart of the presentation will be the allocation of $50 billion for the expansion and modernization of major airports. An additional $40 billion will be dedicated to new aircraft acquisitions, while $10 billion will be directed toward creating advanced logistics hubs at key airports in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam.
\nMohammed Al-Khurais, GACA\u2019s executive vice president of strategy and business intelligence, underscored the scope of the investments.
\n\u201cSaudi Arabia is offering aviation opportunities on an unprecedented scale. Through our ambitious Saudi Aviation Strategy, we aim to triple passenger traffic, expand to 250 destinations, and handle 330 million passengers and 4.5 million tonnes of cargo annually.\u201d
\nThe pavilion, organized by the Ministry of Economy and Planning, will host high-level discussions and key announcements. Among the speakers will be Abdullah Al-Dubaikhi, Saudi Arabia\u2019s assistant minister of investment, as well as executives from major aviation players, including Archer Aviation and Jeddah Airport.
\nThe GACA statement said panel discussions will focus on high-profile projects such as the King Salman International Airport in Riyadh, a sprawling mega-hub featuring six runways. There will also be dialogue surrounding public-private partnerships aimed at upgrading regional airports.
\nBeyond traditional infrastructure, the showcase will explore emerging sectors within aviation, such as cargo and logistics, Advanced Air Mobility, and business aviation.
\nThis forward-thinking approach highlights Saudi Arabia\u2019s commitment to not only modernizing its air transport network but also shaping the future of global aviation.
\nThe Saudi pavilion will serve as a dynamic platform to present the Kingdom\u2019s economic vision, fostering collaboration between global leaders, innovators, and investors, the statement said.
\nAviation, positioned as a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030, is expected to play a pivotal role in transforming the Kingdom into a leading force in the global aviation industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
