Mr. Al Majali told the panel that he believed the Saudi Vision 2030 contained several positive components that will directly impact the aviation sector of Saudi Arabia. Correspondingly, the aviation sector, and its own forecast development will beneficially affect the objectives of the “Vision 2030” plan, thus both will mutually gain from the other. Mr. Al Majali pointed out that movements both to and from the Kingdom, of both people and good, is a critical element of the Saudi economy, and the aviation sector is working hard to facilitate this vital traffic. Based in Al Khobar, Saudi Gulf is one of the few Saudi airlines entirely owned by the private sector, and is committed to operating to the highest standards.
