Universal Weather and Aviation inked an agreement with Altanfeethi to explore opportunities for transforming general aviation infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, the companies announced on Tuesday afternoon at EBACE 2024. The move comes a week after the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) unveiled a general aviation roadmap to increase the sector’s GDP to $2 billion by 2030, in line with the nation’s wider Vision 2030 plan and the Saudi Aviation Strategy.

"Universal this year is 65 years old," said Universal chairman Greg Evans at the signing ceremony. "For 50 of those 65 years, we have been doing business in Saudi Arabia...and it gives me pride and I feel very honored today to say that we have found one of the best partners for our company to explore opportunities in the country together."
