Vice President of Strategy and Business Intelligence at the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) Eng. Mohammed Alkhuraisi participated in a panel discussion at the Public Investment Fund (PIF) Private Sector Forum.

Alkhuraisi underscored the aviation industry’s role in supporting and empowering the private sector, outlining the objectives of the aviation program and the institutional transformation led by GACA to foster an attractive investment environment.

He emphasized that GACA has evolved from an airport operator into a regulator and enabler of investment. This transformation aims to establish a robust regulatory framework that supports sustainable growth, boosts investor confidence, and drives the aviation industry's expansion.

Alkhuraisi also reviewed the aviation program’s objectives, which include increasing passenger capacity to 330 million annually by 2030, expanding the air connectivity network to over 250 international destinations, growing the national carriers’ fleet to more than 600 aircraft, and launching new carriers to enhance competitiveness and seat availability.
