Saudi Arabia To Host Its First Aviation Trade Show
Scheduled for March 2019, the new show will be hosted by the Saudi Aviation Club and expects to attract business, general aviation and commercial aircraft.

Starting next year, Saudi Arabia will join the international airshow circuit with the debut of the Saudi Airshow, to be held from March 12 through 14.  The exhibition—a mix of business, general, and commercial aviation—will take place at Riyadh’s Thumamah Airport, which will be dedicated solely to the event. It will feature 100,000 sq m (1 million-plus sq ft) of static display area that will accommodate more than 100 aircraft from single-engine light aircraft to widebody jetliners. Chalets next to the runway will facilitate demonstration flights. Three exhibit halls will house 700 exhibitor booths and international pavilions.
