King Salman International Airport Development Company (KSIADC), a company owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), has joined hands with Bechtel to develop 3 passenger terminals at King Salman International Airport (KSIA) in Riyadh.
The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the Saudi–US Investment Forum, which was held on the occasion of the U.S President Donald J. Trump’s state visit to Saudi Arabia. The Forum, held at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, gathered leading Saudi and American investors to celebrate the Saudi-US long-standing partnership.
Bechtel will oversee the development of three terminals: a new terminal dedicated to commercial airlines, a new Terminal 6, and a third terminal for private aviation, featuring aircraft maintenance facilities.
