UK aviation firms to visit Saudi Arabia

Several United Kingdom aviation businesses will visit Saudi Arabia from Nov. 3-5 to showcase their latest products, the British Consulate announced here recently.
Michael Cockle, head of the consulate's trade and investment section, said UK companies want to find out more about the country’s current and future airport developments and discuss their products and services with Saudi specialists.
“Airport and aviation-specific visits such as this serve to further strengthen ties between Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. There are already a good number of British companies working alongside Saudi partners.”
"These companies work across a wide spectrum of airport and aviation projects providing world-class airport designs, engineering, roofing, technology, interior design and equipment supply. They are involved in major Saudi airport projects including those in Jeddah, Riyadh and Madinah,” he said.
“I am delighted that more leading British companies will now have an opportunity to share their experience and expertise in Saudi Arabia.” He said airport and aviation development projects require a wide range of skills and capabilities and it was essential to select suppliers, consultants and operators with experience.
“British companies have a great deal of knowledge, experience and products and are capable of addressing the challenges created by the changing nature of the aviation industry.”
The visiting enterprises include world-class specialist equipment suppliers for airfield and terminal operations and expertise in the master planning and design of terminal buildings. “The products and design capabilities include some of the latest innovations in safety and security which help deliver a safer, smarter and more satisfying experience to airport users.”
There is also strong expertise in air navigation systems and technologies among the visiting companies,” he said.
