The free-entry event will focus on expansion, innovation, and collaboration while once again offering domestic aviation authorities the “tools, insights, and partnerships” they need to apply the Saudi Aviation Strategy while placing the Kingdom as an international aviation hub.
The forum, which will gather over 10,000 attendees from all parts of the world, will showcase groundbreaking solutions while working on boosting the global supply chain for the Kingdom’s airport development.
