Trump Plans Saudi Arabia Visit, Hints at Possible Meeting with Putin
Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he plans to travel to Saudi Arabia within the next month and a half, emphasizing the strong relationship between the two nations and the Kingdom's significant investment in American industries. 'I have a great relationship with them, and they've been very nice. But they're going to be spending a lot of money [on] American companies for buying military equipment and other things,' Trump told reporters at the Oval Office. While it remains uncertain if Saudi Arabia will be his first official visit abroad, Trump has hinted that it could be a possibility. During his first term, he broke with tradition by making the Kingdom his first international destination, signaling the importance of U.S.-Saudi ties. Trump also indicated that he expects to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia at some point but did not confirm if it would take place during this upcoming visit. Following his inauguration, Trump's first call with a foreign leader was with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), who reportedly expressed the Kingdom's willingness to invest $600 billion in the United States over four years. Last month, Trump made history as the first American president to address Saudi Arabia's Future Investment Initiative (FII) Institute, where he expressed gratitude for Saudi Arabia's role in facilitating diplomatic talks between Washington and Moscow. He described the Kingdom as a 'special place with special leaders.' As Trump prepares for his visit, all eyes will be on the potential geopolitical implications of his meetings, particularly concerning U.S.-Saudi relations and the evolving dynamics with Russia.

Saudi Arabia's business jet flights surge 24pc in 2024
Saudi Arabia's business jet sector achieved a record 24 per cent jump in flight volumes in 2024, the General Authority of Civil Aviation has announced whilst profiling the sector's future growth prospects at a Saudi House aviation event on the sidelines of the 2025 World Economic Forum in Davos. Business jet flights rose from 19,000 in 2023 to a record 23,612 in 2024, with domestic jet flights rising 26 per cent to 9,206 and international jet flights rising 15 per cent to 14,406. This growth was led by Saudi Arabia's airport hubs, King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah saw a 30 per cent increase in business jet traffic, while King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh recorded a 22 per cent rise and King Fahd International Airport in Dammam saw a 7 per cent increase. Tourism destinations Sindalah, the Red Sea and Al Ula were popular new destinations for business, whilst events such as the Future Investment Initiative and Formula One Grand Prix in Jeddah also supported the record growth in jet traffic. Mohammed Alkhuraisi, GACA's Executive Vice President of Strategy and Business stated:'A thriving business jet sector is essential to support Saudi Arabia's luxury tourism and business sectors. To build on the record business jet growth achieved in 2024, an unprecedented investment program is underway to ensure the Kingdom offers unparalleled business jet aviation infrastructure and services.' 'Saudi Arabia's General Aviation Roadmap is opening the Kingdom's business aviation sector to the world, offering global business aviation investors, operators, manufacturers and service providers the chance to be part of a $2 billion aviation opportunity,' added Alkhuraisi. GACA's General Aviation Roadmap was launched during the Future Aviation Forum in May 2024, including a comprehensive transformation program to develop the general aviation sector into a $2 billion industry by 2030, supporting 35,000 jobs. The roadmap aligns infrastructure planning and regulations across the sector, delivering six dedicated business aviation airports and a further nine dedicated business aviation terminals. The Roadmap will also increase the number of business aviation Fixed-Base Operators and Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul capacity for business jets. In December 2024, an agreement was signed for Jubail Airport to serve as one of six dedicated general aviation airports in the Kingdom, expanding the sector's existing operational capacity and private aviation services.
