Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) aims to grow the country’s general aviation sector into a $2 billion industry by 2030. This is part of the kingdom’s broader efforts to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on oil revenues.
The FAF 2024 conference, which will take place from May 20 to 22 at King Abdulaziz International Conference Center (KAICC) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will focus on “Elevating Global Connectivity”. The event provides a platform for aviation industry stakeholders to discuss the sector’s challenges and opportunities.
Some key points about Saudi Arabia’s plans for general aviation:
- GACA is working to attract investments and partnerships to develop the general aviation infrastructure.
- The authority aims to establish new general aviation airports and upgrade existing ones.
- Initiatives are underway to streamline regulations and procedures for general aviation operators.
- The goal is to position Saudi Arabia as a regional hub for business aviation and private jets.
By growing the general aviation industry, Saudi Arabia hopes to create jobs, attract foreign investment, and support the development of its aviation manufacturing and maintenance capabilities.
The FAF 2024 conference will be an important event to showcase the kingdom’s progress and future plans for this sector.
