RX Arabia officially confirmed today, 15th September, that Inter Aviation Arabia will now take place from 29th September to 1st October at the Riyadh Front Exhibition Centre & Conference Center.
The event will be co-located with the recently-launched event WTM Spotlight in Saudi Arabia and the second edition of FIBO Arabia.
RX Arabia will leverage its international expertise within the sector, including flagship events like inter airport Europe, inter airport Southeast Asia, and Airport Show in Dubai, to position Inter Aviation Arabia as a platform for investment, innovation, and connectivity across the aviation ecosystem, under the theme of Driving Aviation Transformation for Vision 2030 and Beyond.
The tri-show platform will also directly support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 agenda by driving investments, partnerships, and talent inflows across tourism, aviation, and lifestyle sectors, while underscoring RX’s long-term commitment to the Kingdom through a globally benchmarked platform that links industries vital to diversifying the Saudi economy.
As RX Managing Director for the Middle East and Emerging Markets, Vasyl Zhygalo explains: “Inter Aviation Arabia will be the definitive meeting point for international aviation stakeholders looking to contribute and benefit from the Kingdom’s transformational agenda. Whether advancing smart infrastructure, air connectivity or pioneering cargo solutions, the event will deliver actionable insights, world-class networking, and a clear runway for growth. We look forward to welcoming the global aviation community to Riyadh in 2026.”
Continuing its push to diversify the economy, Inter Aviation Arabia aims to support Saudi Arabia’s goal of becoming a leading global aviation and logistics hub by providing the necessary infrastructure, connectivity, and innovation to enhance the Middle East’s influence in the future of air travel.
Zhygalo adds: “Inter Aviation Arabia, WTM Spotlight in Saudi Arabia, and FIBO Arabia are significant in their own right, but when staged together, they create a dynamic ecosystem that reflects Saudi Arabia’s evolving global influence across interconnected industries. The co-location is designed to drive cross-sector conversations, facilitate impactful investment opportunities, and inspire next-generation thinking across aviation and tourism.”
