NEOM has chosen AECOM as the management partner for its international airport located in the northwestern region of Saudi Arabia. AECOM will provide project management consultancy services for NEOM International Airport (NIA) including master-planning, design, construction, testing, commissioning, operational readiness, activation, and transition. The contract is set to run for several years.
Lara Poloni, AECOMs president, said: “We are very pleased to be part of this innovative project, which is set to transform travel between NEOM and the world.
“Our track record delivering large-scale infrastructure projects in the region, as well as our mobilised global aviation resources and project management experts will help ensure the successful delivery of NIA.”
Hamed Zaghw, AECOM’s chief executive of the Middle East and Africa region, said: “We are delighted that AECOM will be adding another chapter to its relationship”.
“This contract is a testament to our leadership position in the region and to our continuous commitment to NEOM and the goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.”
This week, Dubai-based airline flydubai began flights to the Saudi Arabian mega-project. “As Saudi Arabia continues on its path of economic growth and investment in developing its tourism sector, we look forward to offering passengers from the UAE and around our network the opportunity to explore more of the country,” flydubai chief commercial officer Hamad Obaidalla said.
