AviLease flags up Saudi ambitions | Times Aerospace
AviLease, which aims to become a leading global aircraft operating lessor, is another example of Saudi Arabia’s expanding aviation ecosystem, and will likely not be the last. Over the past year or so, flag-carrier Saudia has launched a raft of new services from Jeddah, low-cost player Flynas is growing its fleet and network in Riyadh, the Saudi air connectivity programme has been incentivising carriers to add routes to serve the kingdom, and a major new Riyadh-based international carrier is in the works. Saudi Arabia is investing in air transport at an astonishing pace.
