Over 200 top firms to take part in Saudi Airport Exhibition

The second edition of the Saudi Airport Exhibition (SAE) kicks off on December 19 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre (RICEC), featuring more than 200 exhibitors including 70 first-timers, from over 25 countries along with 200 regional buyers.

The two-day event is being organized by Niche Ideas with Matarat Holding, an arm of the General Authority of Civil Aviation, as the Platinum Sponsor and supported by other leading aviation organizations.

Saudi Arabia’s only airport industry-dedicated expo comes at a time when the kingdom is in the midst of its largest-ever aviation services and facilities expansion under plans to triple the airport capacity by 2030 as it sets to deliver the fastest passenger traffic growth in the Middle East in the period ending 2040, stated the organiser.

The country aims to connect with over 250-plus destinations and be in the world’s Top 5 air transit hubs by posting an annual passenger traffic to reach the 330 million mark and increase the air cargo volume to 4.5 million tons by 2030.

The Saudi aviation strategy is backed by a $100 billion aviation investment plan that will transform the Middle East’s largest aviation market. The ripple effects of these investments are expected to be monumental
