According to the latest announcement, the Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON), in partnership with the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources and the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), announced an ambitious plan to establish an aviation industry cluster at MODON Oasis in Jeddah. Spanning an impressive 1.2 million square meters, this cutting-edge development will be strategically positioned near King Abdulaziz International Airport and Jeddah Islamic Port, ensuring seamless integration with vital transport networks. By focusing on the localization of advanced aviation technologies and strengthening supply chains, this initiative is set to transform Saudi Arabia’s aviation sector into a key player in the global aerospace industry.
A core feature of the aviation cluster will be the construction of state-of-the-art, ready-built factories of various sizes, specifically designed to accommodate aerospace manufacturers and aircraft maintenance specialists. These facilities will offer a dynamic environment for companies engaged in aircraft production, repair, and maintenance operations, fostering a highly specialized ecosystem. By providing dedicated infrastructure tailored to the aviation sector’s unique needs, the project aims to attract significant investments, enhance industrial efficiency, and support the long-term growth of aerospace enterprises in the Kingdom.
This initiative is not only a major step in advancing Saudi Arabia’s industrial capabilities but also aligns with the nation’s strategic vision to position itself as a leading regional aviation hub. With an ambitious target of handling 30 million passengers and 2 million tonnes of air cargo annually, the aviation cluster will play a pivotal role in strengthening the country’s logistics and air transport infrastructure. By creating a world-class aviation ecosystem, Saudi Arabia is poised to enhance its global competitiveness, drive economic diversification, and reinforce its standing in the international aviation market.
