Following the successful launch of its Aerospace Logistics division in the UAE in 2023, the company has established its presence in KSA, with Oman to follow in Q2 of 2025.
As the Middle East strengthen its position as a global aerospace hub, the demand for advanced logistics solutions is greater than ever. With the region’s aerospace market growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.4%, and the GCC’s aircraft MRO services market set to expand by 14.5% in the next five years, fleet growth and rising demand for wide-body aircraft maintenance are driving the need for enhanced logistics. The rising number of new aircraft deliveries is expected to go over 1,000 by 2029-30 highlighting the urgency for enhanced aerospace logistics services in the region, especially in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Dr. Raman Kumar, managing director of Al-Futtaim Logistics, said: “This expansion into Saudi Arabia and Oman marks a significant milestone for Al-Futtaim Logistics’ regional growth. The aerospace industry operates in a time-sensitive environment where every minute counts, and our tailored logistics solutions are designed to minimise downtime and ensure seamless operations. With our extensive regional expertise and global reach, strong regulatory compliance, and commitment to innovation and artificial intelligence technology, we are ready to meet the dynamic needs of the aviation sector in these growing markets.”
