Saudi Arabia's SAMI and Turkish Firms Establish New Defense Industry Collaborations

State-owned Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) said early on Thursday it signed three memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with Turkish companies to "support the localization of defense industries" in the Kingdom.

In a statement, SAMI said it agreed with Türkiye's drone maker Baykar to "establish manufacturing capabilities" and develop systems for Baykar's unmanned aerial vehicles in Saudi Arabia.

It also agreed with Turkish aerospace and defense company Aselsan to explore opportunities for developing defense electronics technologies in the kingdom.

Saudi airports will participate under the theme "Saudi Arabia the Global Hub" at Routes World 2024, which will take place in Bahrain from October 6-8, 2024, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Friday.
The event, considered the aviation industry's premier global gathering, will bring together key players from airlines, airports, and industry stakeholders worldwide to shape the future of air services and promote global economic growth.
The Saudi participation includes some of the kingdom's most important aviation assets: MATARAT Holding, the King Salman International Airport, the Saudi Air Connectivity Program, the Red Sea International Airport, the Riyadh Airports Company, the Jeddah Airports Company, the Dammam Airports Company, and the Airports Cluster 2 Company.
Saudi Arabia's participation aims to transform its aviation sector into a global leader, positioning its airports to handle 330 million passengers and transport 4.5 million tons of cargo by 2030. This ambitious goal, aligned with the objectives of the National Aviation Strategy, is a testament to the industry's potential.
The effort also focuses on creating seamless travel experiences, enhancing customer satisfaction, ensuring safety and promoting environmental sustainability in the aviation industry.
The 29th edition of Routes World will feature panel discussions, workshops, and intensive meetings focused on advancing the regional and global air transport industry.
The sessions will also explore airlines' financial and operational performance, prospects for future growth, and critical issues such as privatization, mergers, sustainability initiatives, and environmental conservation.
