Saudi Arabian Airlines CEO Engineer Saleh Al-Jasser emphasized that the airline’s strategic plan aims to double what has been achieved over the company’s 70-year history within seven years by expanding the fleet, raising the number of aircraft from the current 119 to 200 by 2020, and continuing to grow passenger numbers through new programs to improve services and the customer experience.

Al-Jasser expressed his optimism during the conclusion of yesterday’s executive meeting, held under the slogan «Together We Shape Our Future,» about Saudi Arabian Airlines« ability to bring about the necessary change on schedule, and perhaps even sooner—God willing—thanks to the capabilities of its human resources, which represent the organization’s best investment, alongside its untapped potential.
