Saudi Arabia's Dammam Airports Company and Universal Weather and Aviation have reviewed operational plans and preparations for the general aviation terminal at King Fahd International Airport, as it nears opening to serve general and private aviation users in the Eastern Province.
This came during a meeting between Eng. Mohammed bin Ali Al Hasani, CEO of Dammam Airports, and Greg Evans, Chairman of Universal Weather and Aviation, at which the services the company will provide at the terminal and its operating plans were reviewed, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency.
Universal Weather and Aviation has obtained a ground handling services license from the General Authority of Civil Aviation, making the general aviation terminal at King Fahd International Airport the company's first station in Saudi Arabia.
Dammam Airports built the terminal on a total area of more than 23,000 square meters, including aprons and stands for private aircraft, as well as a passenger terminal of around 4,000 square meters.
The terminal also includes facilities for ground operations, baggage services and car parking, along with equipment dedicated to serving general aviation users.
Dammam Airports said the terminal's opening is part of plans to develop infrastructure and services for general aviation and support the growth of private aviation at King Fahd International Airport and in the Eastern Province.
The project is part of the targets of the Aviation Program, which stems from the National Transport and Logistics Strategy, supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
