The increasing tourism, logistics demand, population, industrialization, and infrastructure development in the region are the main factors propelling this market's expansion.
Airport operations include air traffic management, terminal operations, ground handling, cargo handling, passenger services, and security services, which are performed to facilitate travel and trade in airports. Advanced radar systems and communications technologies are used for air traffic control, which are used to guide aircraft, manage connections with neighboring countries, and guide in an emergency. These operations are carried out to ensure that passengers have a seamless flight experience without any inconvenience or incident.
This market is growing rapidly due to the growth of Saudi Arabia’s massive airport industry and its infrastructure, as well as the diversification of the economy under Saudi Vision 2030. For instance, the National Aviation Sector Strategy seeks to expand the country's reach by connecting it to 250 destinations, carry 330 million passengers, and handle 4.5 million tons of cargo by 2030.
