Saudia Private, a Saudia Group subsidiary previously known as Saudia Private Aviation (SPA), is the first company to receive Argus International’s Base Operations Audit Award. The Base Operations Audit, initiated by Argus, is designed to elevate FBO operational standards by focusing on reducing ground incidents and aircraft damage.
Receiving the audit “is a remarkable achievement for Saudia Private, affirming the extraordinary investments we have made to ensure the safety, well-being and convenience of our valued guests and industry partners,” said Saudia Private CEO Fahad Al Jarboa. “We continue to adhere to the strictest local and international aviation standards, in line with the Saudia Group values, and to innovate to meet and exceed the expectations of our guests."
Michael McCready, president of Argus International, noted that the standards for the audit “raise the certification level to a new height for the global fixed-base operations [FBO] industry. Having Saudia Private take action to meet these new standards affirms their dedication to ensuring the safety and well-being of their valued guests.”
Saudia Private offers a range of services, including on-the-ground operations, aircraft management, maintenance, and charter flights. The company, which operates a dedicated fleet for private aviation, extends its services to both local partners and international guests, covering 28 airports within Saudi Arabia and destinations worldwide.
