Saudi Arabia Aviation Fuel Market Trends & Drivers:

Saudi Arabia's aviation fuel market is experiencing exponential growth driven by the Kingdom's ambitious Vision 2030 initiatives to position itself as a global aviation hub, with investments exceeding USD 100 billion showcased at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2025, covering airports, airlines, cargo logistics, and ground support services. The aviation sector supports 1.4 million jobs and contributes 8.5% of the Kingdom's GDP, generating USD 90.6 billion in economic activity, with plans to triple aviation capacity by 2030 through massive infrastructure development and fleet expansion.

The surge in tourism activities is dramatically accelerating aviation fuel demand, with the Kingdom experiencing a 656% increase in leisure tourism in 2024 and recording 30 million international arrivals, driven by religious tourism for Hajj and Umrah and leisure destinations including AlUla, Red Sea Project, and AMAALA. The government's efforts to simplify visa processes, host international mega-events including World Expo 2030 and FIFA World Cup 2034, and develop 50 luxury resorts by 2030 are creating unprecedented demand for aviation services, with new airports and expanded routes improving connectivity throughout the Kingdom.

Significant investments in air defense and military aviation are propelling market growth, with Saudi Arabia's military expenditure reaching USD 75.8 billion in 2024, growing at an annual pace of 4.5% since 1960. The expansion of air fleets, regular training exercises, joint military operations, and development of new air bases require consistent aviation fuel supply for fighter jets, transport planes, surveillance aircraft, and helicopters, contributing substantially to overall fuel consumption alongside commercial aviation operations.

The ongoing development of advanced airport infrastructure is transforming the aviation landscape, with King Salman International Airport expansion underway to increase capacity from 29 million to 120 million passengers annually by 2030, featuring six parallel runways and seven terminals across 57 square kilometers. The modernization of fueling systems, larger storage facilities, and faster refueling processes are improving turnaround times, while projects like Malham Airport approval, Taif International Airport development, and King Fahd International Airport master plan with infrastructure projects worth SAR 1.6 billion are supporting market expansion.

The emergence of new airlines is driving fuel demand growth, with Riyadh Air set to launch in 2025 from King Salman International Airport, positioning itself as a premium carrier to complement Saudia's fleet of over 150 aircraft and Flynas's expansion with 120 new Airbus A320neo aircraft orders. Saudi Arabia's commercial fleet currently includes 278 active airliners with 350 additional aircraft on order from Airbus and Boeing, while the Kingdom's strategic geographic location between East and West is attracting international carriers for refueling and transit operations, with SR 42 billion allocated for infrastructure and transportation in 2025 including new travel lounges across international airports and licensing of additional national air carriers supporting sustained aviation fuel demand growth throughout the Kingdom's expanding aviation network.
