Ireland headquartered Alliance Aviation announced a major milestone for business aviation in Saudi Arabia with the launch of the Kingdom’s first purpose-built general aviation hangar and FBO facility at AlUla International Airport, developed in partnership with The Royal Commission for AlUla.
Unveiled during the 9th Future Investment Initiative (FII) in Riyadh, this opening highlights our shared vision to make AlUla a leading aviation and cultural hub under Vision 2030.
Alliance Aviation Founder Brendan McQuaid says, “We are proud to partner with the Royal Commission for AlUla in creating a facility that reflects the region’s heritage, hospitality, and the Kingdom’s vision for world-class infrastructure. AlUla is not just a destination, it’s becoming an aviation hub that bridges culture, commerce, and connectivity.”
Alliance Aviation will manage and operate the facility, providing ground handling, hangarage and aircraft management services to private and business aircraft operators, offers private and business jets ground handling, VIP lounge access and transfers for passengers as well as direct aircraft access for crews. Onsite amenities include a crew rest and operations area, ground handling and line maintenance support, high-speed connectivity and 24/7 security.
The milestone builds on Alliance Aviation established operations in Ireland, where Alliance Aviation operates the only dedicated general aviation hangar and full-service FBO at Dublin Airport.
