The Privatization of Technical Services

An agreement was signed by the Director-General H.E. Eng. Khaled Almelhem for a joint cooperation with Air France and KLM. This comes in the attempts for the Saudi Arabian Airlines to privatize the technical services sector, and to promote its great potential to become in the next few years one of the largest centers for the processing and maintenance of aircraft, engines, and spare parts, in the Middle East.

The agreement is aimed at reducing operating costs, and the development of performance standards and quality controls in the maintenance of aircrafts and engines sector. This will provide the Professional Services Sector an added value while serving both the Saudi Arabian Airlines and other airlines operating within the kingdom.

 

The internationally recognized Professional Services Sector possesses an experience that surpasses 45 years, with over 90% professional Saudi employees.
