From May 20-22, 2024, the Future Aviation Forum (FAF) will reconvene in Riyadh, transforming into a global hub for more than 5,000 aviation professionals from over 100 nations. The event, hosted by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of Saudi Arabia and under the gracious patronage of King Salman, aims to shape the future trajectory of global aviation.

The forum is not just a meeting; it’s a powerhouse of strategic partnerships and groundbreaking discussions. With more than 50 agreements worth $2.7 billion signed during the previous 2022 event, the FAF24 is set to eclipse records, with even more significant commercial announcements expected. Major global manufacturers, international airlines, and pivotal airport groups will be there, discussing everything from equipment orders to innovative connectivity solutions.

His Excellency Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, President of GACA, emphasized the forum’s critical role in addressing core challenges such as manufacturing supply chain disruptions, capacity constraints, and the vital development of human capital. “The 2024 Future Aviation Forum will once again unite global aviation leaders to solve aviation’s biggest challenges,” Al-Duailej asserted.

The 2024 forum will be pivotal, especially as it coincides with other significant gatherings, such as the Airport Council International’s annual general assembly. It promises an intensive week of discussions, networking, and policy-making, with influential figures from the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association in attendance.

Significantly, the forum aligns with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, aiming to catalyze unprecedented investment, growth, and innovation across the Kingdom. This includes ambitious projects like NEOM and Red Sea Global and the expansion of major airports such as the King Salman International Airport. The Saudi Aviation Strategy is also set to transform the Kingdom into the Middle East’s leading aviation hub, with a projection of over $100 billion in investment, a 26% increase in passenger numbers in 2023 alone, and a significant increase in flight operations.

The forum’s agenda is meticulously designed to foster interactive sessions where attendees can directly engage with and vote on solutions to the most pressing aviation challenges. Results will be shared in real-time at the event’s conclusion.

Registration is now open, and the aviation community is invited to attend what promises to be a watershed event in the global aviation calendar. For more details and to secure your place at this landmark event, visit Future Aviation Forum and register directly at FAF24 Registration.
