Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is advancing public-private partnership (PPP) projects across its airports, railways, ports and road transport networks, with the Abha airport project at an advanced stage of the award process, Deputy Minister of Transport and Logistics Services Rumaih Al-Rumaih said.
Speaking during a panel discussion at the 25th World Energy Congress 2026 in Riyadh, Al-Rumaih said airport projects at Taif , Qassim and Abha were among the initiatives being developed to attract private investment, according to a report by Akhbaar 24 posted on Tuesday.
The New Abha International Airport project in southwestern Aseer province is structured as a 30-year Build-Transfer-Operate (BTO) concession. Bidders in race for the project include consortium of Saudi Arabia’s MADA Holding and Turkey-based TAV Havalimanlari Holding; consortium of Saudi Arabia’s Vision International and ASYAD Holding, and Ireland's daa International; consortium of Saudi Arabia’s Al Sharq Investment and France's Egis, and standalone bid from India’s GMR Airports.
He said in the ports sector, the government relies on build-operate-transfer (BOT) contracts and long-term concession agreements
Al-Rumaih said the railway sector also offered opportunities for private investment, while intercity bus services were being operated through concession agreements.
