Additionally, this MRO village will include an engine test cell for the latest aircraft engines, significantly advancing the country's MRO services through 2030.

Captain Fahd Cynndy of Saudia Technic sees this partnership as proof of the company's global sector ambitions. Under PIF’s collaboration, Saudia Technic aims to redefine aviation in Saudi Arabia by improving service quality and pioneering innovative solutions.
As part of Saudi Arabia's larger strategy to become an international aviation hub, PIF is investing in several ventures, such as the development of the King Salman International Airport that will accommodate 120 million passengers yearly by 2030, and the inception of The Helicopter Company and AviLease, to enhance local connectivity and foster the country’s aviation ecosystem growth.
