Riyadh to Welcome Three New Helicopter Landing Sites
In a groundbreaking move, Riyadh is gearing up to unveil three new helicopter landing sites in Diriyah, Edge of the World, and Ushaiqer. This exciting development comes as a result of a recent agreement signed by the city’s municipality.
Future Vision for Air Mobility Unveiled
The memorandum of understanding, inked with The Helicopter Co., owned by the Public Investment Fund, aims to set the stage for a future vision for air mobility in Riyadh. This strategic move is set to revolutionize the way people travel within the city.
Strategic Allocations for Development
Under the terms of the agreement, specific areas were allocated for the helicopter landing sites. Diriyah, situated on the northwestern outskirts of Riyadh, will receive 11,000 sq. m. Edge of the World, a breathtaking natural landmark northwest of Riyadh, will be allocated 9,000 sq. m. Ushaiqer, a charming village nestled in the Najd region, will have 8,500 sq. m. dedicated to the new landing site.
Promoting Sustainable Development and High-Quality Services
The newly signed MoU aims to enhance investment opportunities in Riyadh while adhering to international standards. This aligns perfectly with Saudi Arabia’s goal of boosting passenger numbers and expanding flight routes. The Riyadh Municipality’s mission to elevate the city through sustainable urban development and effective partnerships will be further realized through this initiative.
Enhancing Tourist Accessibility and Experience
Visitors to Riyadh can look forward to improved access to tourist destinations and enhanced experiences, thanks to the newly established helicopter landing sites. The agreement also opens up opportunities for collaboration with the private sector and the development of partnerships with small and medium enterprises.
The Helicopter Co.’s Expansion Plans
In May, The Helicopter Co.’s CEO announced plans for global expansion and an initial public offering. The firm aims to solidify its position in the Saudi market before venturing into new territories. This aligns with the company’s goal of generating long-term commercial returns and supporting the objectives of Vision 2030.
