Jetex signs agreement for FBO at Red Sea International Airport
Jetex signed an agreement to operate a new FBO at Red Sea International Airport in Saudi Arabia.

Jetex has agreed to open its first FBO in Saudi Arabia, finally unlocking the door to a market it has long wanted to enter and setting the stage for the expansion of aircraft ground handling provision in the country. The Dubai-based group has reached an agreement to develop and operate the FBO at Red Sea International Airport (OERS) on Saudi Arabia’s west coast, giving access to a market rich in opportunity but facing a stiff task to bring its substantial plans to fruition. 

Adel Mardini, Jetex’s founder and CEO, signed the deal with the airport’s operator, DAA International (DAAI), on Friday, with the support of Red Sea Global (RSG), the developer behind Saudi tourism destinations The Red Sea and Amaala.
