Universal Aviation has begun operations at the new general aviation terminal (GAT)/FBO at King Fahd International Airport (OEDF) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. The company was selected to manage the facility—the kingdom’s first dedicated GAT and first dedicated private aviation hangar—earlier this year.

Under the deal, Universal is the exclusive ground-handling provider at the 42,000-sq-ft facility, which was developed in partnership with Matarat Holding and Dammam Airports Co. to expand dedicated general aviation infrastructure and elevate Saudi Arabia’s position as a world-class destination for business aviation under Vision 2030.
