Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-based Alsalam Aerospace Industries (Stand 920) is seeking new business opportunities in the Middle East and in world markets, as increasing demand for military and commercial aircraft MRO, upgrades, and modifications allow it to benefit from its track record in localizing aircraft industry technology in the kingdom and improve training for local nationals. 

Alsalam is advancing the capabilities of the Saudi aerospace manufacturing industry. Today, it manufactures wings, forward fuselages, pylons and adaptors for the F-15SA in partnership with Boeing.

Alsalam Aerospace Industries is a joint venture company established more than 30 years ago under the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Defense and Aviation Economic Offset Program. “Alsalam has proven itself as the Middle East’s leading provider of heavy maintenance, repair, and overhaul for both wide- and narrowbody aircraft and programmed depot maintenance and technical support for military fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft,” the company said.

Alsalam has also created a platform in the region for aircraft manufacturing by producing a wide range of commercial aircraft parts and components, helping to increase Saudi self-sufficiency in technology transfer and local training. The company also offers a wide range of technical services for business aircraft.
