Aviation Sector and PPPs The aviation sector in Saudi Arabia has undergone a significant transformation, marked by the government's strategic decision to embrace privatization. This approach has already been adopted for airport projects in key locations such as Medina, Yanbu, Taif, Qassim, and Hail. By embracing privatization, Saudi Arabia has unlocked opportunities for increased competition, enhanced service quality, and accelerated infrastructure development in the aviation sector. As part of the visionary 'Vision 2030' economic diversification drive, Saudi Arabia has set an ambitious goal to increase passenger handling capacity to 300 million by 2030. To achieve this objective, the country is considering the privatization of all its airports. The plan involves transforming 22 airport operators into holding corporations that will be responsible for the development, operation, and management of these airports. This comprehensive privatization strategy will have a positive impact on various sub-sectors within the aviation industry, including freight, catering, maintenance, and ground services.
