Changi to operate new King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah

It will be overseeing the airport for the next 20 years.

A report from the Arab News said Singaporean Changi Airport Group has won a bid to operate Jeddah’s new King Abdulaziz Airport for the next 20 years, as announced by Sulaiman Al-Hamdan, transport minister and president of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).

“Changi Airport Group… is an essential partner in our success and we hope it achieves the sought for goals,” Al-Hamdan told reporters at a press conference on Sunday at the new airport’s media center. He added that he is “hopeful” the new airport would “witness tangible improvement” in the services offered to travellers. The ongoing project that was launched in January 2011 is 88 percent complete. It is set to be finalised end of 2017 and operational by mid-2018. The minister said he “hopes the airport will catch up with the Haj season of next year.”

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
