The Aviation Balancing Act: Can Saudia Redefine Competition in a High-Stakes Industry? In an era where the skies are increasingly crowded with new players and unprecedented ambitions, Ibrahim AlOmar Director-General of SAUDI AIRLINES challenges the traditional rules of the aviation game. With Saudi Arabia smashing its Vision 2030 tourism targets seven years early, the stakes have been raised: 150 million visitors, 330 million airport users, and a rapidly evolving National Aviation Strategy. But here’s the twist: Al Omar isn’t advocating for cutthroat competition. Instead, he calls for a “complementary approach,” sparking debate in an industry notorious for razor-thin margins. Can collaboration truly be the answer in an environment where every airline vies for survival? Saudia’s aggressive sustainability moves—investing in electric jets, fuel-efficient fleets, and carbon markets—underline its ambition to lead, not follow. Yet with the sector’s future hinging on unresolved questions about sustainable fuels and a training infrastructure struggling to keep up, the path forward remains anything but clear. Is Saudia’s strategy visionary—or overly optimistic? I do believe it’s visionary. Saudia’s strategy isn’t just about meeting the challenges of today—it’s about rewriting the rulebook for tomorrow’s aviation industry. #thereport2024 #thereportsaudiarabia2024

Boeing aircraft have been an integral part of our operations since Pegasus entered the aviation industry in 1990. We are pleased to be expanding our fleet with the new Boeing 737-10 model aircraft. We are confident that our collaboration will create new opportunities for local manufacturing, technology transfer, R&D, training, and employment in the Turkish aviation industry. When considered within the scope of Boeing’s National Aerospace Initiative launched with the Turkish government in 2017, our order will also open new doors and create production and export opportunities both for Turkish manufacturers and for the wider aviation industry.”   #Boeing #PegasusAirlines #Boeing737

Oman’s Civil Aviation Authority plans six new airports Oman is set to build six new airports, which are expected to begin operations between 2028 and 2029, according to Naif bin Ali al Abri, Chairman of Civil Aviation Authority. In an interview with Al Sharq on the sidelines of the Future Aviation Forum in Riyadh, Abri informed that the consulting designs for the new airports have begun this year. Through this planned expansion, he said, Oman aims to increase the number of airports in the country to 13, facilitating domestic aviation and bolstering tourism. The CAA chairman asserted that with the completion of these projects, Oman anticipates a significant surge in airport passenger traffic, projected to reach 50mn by 2040 from the current 17mn. The upcoming airports are strategically planned to attract more international traffic and bolster logistics and tourism in specific regions. These new facilities will connect passengers with Oman’s industrial areas in Sohar, Salalah and Duqm. Talking about National Aviation Strategy 2040, Abri said before the pandemic in 2019, the Cabinet approved the National Aviation Strategy 2030. “Following the pandemic, we focused on heavily restructuring the aviation sector and dismantling our holding structure and various companies,” he pointed out. “CAA took additional responsibilities of building airports and overseeing all related infrastructure. Given the change in forecasts for tourism beyond the pandemic, CAA decided to review its 2030 strategy and extend its targets to 2040.” The strategy involves multiple facets beyond just airports and commercial airlines, training and traditional operations. “Today we are talking about many new issues, such as implementing new technologies such as drones; attracting and accommodating private aviators including amphibious airplanes or sea airplanes; positioning our airports as logistics centers; and perhaps starting a new airline. All these aspects are included in the new National Aviation Strategy 2040.” CAA, in cooperation with 60 local entities, worked for eight months to approve the 2040 strategy, the chairman highlighted.
