Changi to operate new King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah

It will be overseeing the airport for the next 20 years.

A report from the Arab News said Singaporean Changi Airport Group has won a bid to operate Jeddah’s new King Abdulaziz Airport for the next 20 years, as announced by Sulaiman Al-Hamdan, transport minister and president of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).

“Changi Airport Group… is an essential partner in our success and we hope it achieves the sought for goals,” Al-Hamdan told reporters at a press conference on Sunday at the new airport’s media center. He added that he is “hopeful” the new airport would “witness tangible improvement” in the services offered to travellers. The ongoing project that was launched in January 2011 is 88 percent complete. It is set to be finalised end of 2017 and operational by mid-2018. The minister said he “hopes the airport will catch up with the Haj season of next year.”
