Key figures in the aviation industry will convene in Riyadh to deliberate on the future of the aviation sector.

Riyadh is gearing up to host the second edition of the two-day Saudi Airport Exhibition, bringing together thought leaders and stakeholders from the global aviation industry to discuss emerging trends and critical issues facing the sector.

Scheduled to take place on December 19-20 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center, the event will feature two co-located conferences aimed at enriching discussions on various aspects of the aviation industry.

The exhibition is expected to draw over 6,000 aviation professionals, with 250 global exhibitors, 50 participating companies, 200 regional buyers, and 2,000 pre-scheduled meetings. Alongside the exhibition, the Global Aviation Issues Conference and Women in Aviation General Assembly will convene leaders from the sector, providing a platform for dialogue on challenges and collaborative opportunities.

Organized by Niche Ideas with Matarat Holding, an arm of the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the event has seen significant growth since its inaugural edition last year. Exhibitors from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, the UK, Italy, Germany, and the US will showcase the latest innovations in the aviation industry.

The Global Aviation Issues Conference, spanning two days, will gather over 500 participants, including Saudi transport and aviation leaders, global experts, and suppliers. Discussions will focus on facilitating collaborative efforts to support the Kingdom’s aviation strategy and promote industry growth, sustainability, and profitability worldwide.

Saudi Arabia’s ambitious aviation expansion program, part of Vision 2030, aims to triple the country’s airports’ capacity by 2030, positioning it as a key player in the global aviation landscape. With projections indicating substantial growth in the sector, the Kingdom is actively working to develop sustainable and modern airport facilities.

The Women in Aviation General Assembly, held for the first time alongside the Saudi Airport Exhibition, will spotlight women’s role in advancing the Kingdom’s aviation goals and creating new job opportunities across the Middle East. The conference will feature discussions on diversity, women’s empowerment, and the future of aviation in the region.

Key themes of the event include women’s empowerment under Vision 2030, initiatives by the Kingdom, an inclusive future for aviation, and establishing pathways for women to participate in technical operations.

In addition to the conferences, the event will host an awards ceremony recognizing global suppliers for their notable contributions to enhancing the airport passenger experience and optimizing airport operations.

The second Saudi Airport Exhibition promises to be a pivotal event for the aviation industry, fostering collaboration, innovation, and growth opportunities in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
