Riyadh-based Alpha Star Aviation Services has entered into an agreement with Saudia Aerospace Engineering Industries (SAEI) for aviation maintenance to support Alpha Star's fleet of private jets, and to build capacity for its future expansion to business jets.

Alpha Star CEO Abdulnasser Alkheraif says: “It is a proud moment for Alpha Star to collaborate with SAEI, a regional business partner in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, to propel Vision 2030, a giant leap towards investing locally. This business collaboration will enable us to perfect our maintenance planning with peace of mind to carry out our operations to sustain our customers' satisfaction and trust.”
