Airports in Saudi Arabia and SATCO’s Investments

“SATCO is very active in airport systems. For more than 25 years, we had a contract to operate the luggage carousels in King Khalid Airport,” says Dr. Ahmed Sindi, General Manager of SATCO.

“We have extended our skills and we have risen to new challenges by providing GACA, which is the general agency for airports and civil aviation, with a new model of how we can work with them. SATCO has invested in new passenger boarding bridges; we have implemented many of them and have brought in and operated new technology and are transferring these significant assets.”

“So we have provided that government agency with a new model of how the private sector works with the government in private-public partnership in such a way that we were able to improve on the service and deliver performance on the ground in new ways and new structures that maybe were not customary. This is something that SATCO provided in terms of technology, manpower and skills and maybe above all, in terms of the innovative business solution that we were able to provide.”
