Jeddah: King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah has achieved a remarkable milestone, setting a new record for passenger traffic by handling over 161,000 passengers in a single day. This accomplishment underscores the airport’s critical role as a major hub, especially for pilgrims visiting Mecca and Medina during Hajj and Umrah seasons.

On that day, the airport efficiently managed over 132,000 pieces of luggage from 817 flights, highlighting its capacity to support large volumes of travelers.

Privatization of Saudi Airports

Saudi Arabia is set to transition four of its airports to private-sector management starting next year, as announced by Minister of Investment Khalid Al-Falih. This move is part of the country’s initiative to position itself as a leader in regional supply chains and green energy production, inviting private investment in these airports.

Saudi Arabia’s Strategic Logistics Position

Al-Falih emphasized the strategic advantage of Saudi Arabia’s location, making it a prime logistics hub. The country is enhancing its maritime links with Egypt and collaborating with the UAE and Oman. Plans for a Gulf railway network aim to further strengthen regional transport infrastructure, complementing the 30 existing ports that manage 80% of transportation needs.

Global Logistics Forum in Riyadh

The ongoing Global Logistics Forum in Riyadh serves as a platform for industry leaders to explore advancements in logistics. It encourages collaboration and innovation, supporting Saudi Arabia’s ambition to become a central force in global logistics.
