Alliance Aviation, which recently opened the first general aviation hangar at Saudi Arabia’s AlUla International Airport (OEAO), is hoping to build out the site as a central general aviation facility that accommodates other aviation businesses as the company eyes expansion into other locations, according to CEO Brendan McQuaid.

During a panel at the Irish Business and General Aviation Association’s International Business Aviation Conference last week in Kildare, Ireland, McQuaid called that move “the beginning of Alliance Aviation in the kingdom, and from there we’ll hopefully develop into other airports on the west coast.”
