Opening Remarks
Aircraft industry in the Kingdom …
Splendid past and brilliant future
The progress of nations and peoples is measured by the efforts they
make and the civilization achievement they realize by their own citizens for the development of their
societies and development of their
abilities and competencies; and to
achieve scientific progresses and
achievements to serve all aspects of
society life.
For this purpose active societies work hard to reach science and
technology as they are the only one
way to progress, recognizing the
values of sustainable development,
providing suitable living standard for
their citizens to contribute in building a better future for humanity.
His Royal Highness
Sultan Bin Salman Bin Abdulaziz
President of the General Authority for
Tourism and Antiquities
From the beginning of its foundation by the founder King Abdulaziz
Bin Abdulrahman- mercy be upon
him- his sons and loyal citizens, the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia recognized
the importance of science and applying science as it is the real means
for building the state and society
and for the progress of a strong
Saudi nation. When we return back
to the stage of the history of the
Kingdom from the stage of the Kingdom foundation we understand the
shrewd vision and the diligent work
to modernize the Saudi society with
emphasis on the traditions, inherited morals and values of our society
which gave it excellence and pioneer
situation.
King Abdulaziz opened all the
doors of controlled modernization
to his country while he was leading
the campaigns of national unity taking into consideration that a nation
cannot be build by unifying the territories alone but also by re-forming
that unity in accordance with the requirements of the modern age.
As I am a professional pilot, I followed the strong historical relationship between the Kingdom, aviation
and space for all the pas years, as
this relationship is the key of boom
and progress. It is clear to us this relationship and the brilliant situation
of our country with respect to aircrafts industry and its contributions
in the national strategy for the development of this kind of industry;
and to realize self-sufficiency in the
field of industry, amendment and
repair of civil and military aircrafts.
For instance, the continuous Saudi
development plans concentrated
on coping with the developments
of international industry and opening new horizons in large industries.
This clearly appeared since the tend
to develop and manufacture helicopters locally was declared after
signing a number of memoranda of
understanding with specialized international companies, in addition
to USA Space Agency (NASA).
In this context we should give reference to the activities and programs
of King Abdulaziz City for Science &
Technology (KCAST), which a public sector city specialized in scientific
and technical research established in
the late seventies of the last century,
2
ALSALAM HORIZONS / Issue 11 - February 2012
in the field of aviation and space by
concentration on important subjects
such as land observation, navigation,
wiry & wireless communications
technology and others. In addition
to the developments resulted from
these activities which enabled the
Kingdom to contribute strongly in
space sciences programs and to employ them in the services of transition to electronic government.
It is important to mention that
the Kingdom adopted a national
strategic plan to develop space and
aviation industry, to increase and
continue cooperation with specialized parties, to purse the national
agenda and to realize sustainable development in this sector. In addition
to care for academic and scientific
fields related to air and space navigation and exchanging knowledge
between scientists and engineers
on new discoveries in space, technology and its products, as well as
discussing ideas ,experiences and
developing a high level network of
professionals in this field.
targets of development and to realize a scientific rise to strengthen the
Saudi role locally, continentally and
internationally.
It is important in this respect to
commend the role of late/ Prince
Sultan Bin Abdulaziz- mercy be upon
him- for his attention to aviation industry, providing all types of support
to build a Saudi aviation industry to
serve the targets and policies of the
Kingdom. The name of late/ Prince
Sultan is connected to this industry
for a long time. He provided to it
support and care which we is difficult
to mention in this short statement
for half a century. We should also
commend the role of HRH Prince
Salman Bin Abdulaziz, the Minister
of Defense who accompanied late/
Prince Sultan in his expectations
and ambitions as he accompanied
him during the period of sickness in
consideration to his great national
role by giving more strong momentum to this industry.
I should also commend the excellent roles of Assalam Aircraft Company in nationalizing aviation technologies in the Kingdom and the
region, as well as their good steps
in this field, in addition to its distinguished abilities reflected by its
success in this field specially in the
maintenance of military aircrafts.
These achievements reflect what
the Kingdom reached in aviation industry.
Therefore, we are looking for a
united Arabic industry in the field
of aircrafts industry which is easy
to realize whenever their intent to
unify all Arab efforts. We have scientists, potentials, high abilities and the
Arab Commission for Industry, as
well as the intention to manufacture
an excellent product to satisfy our
local and regional needs and allows
us the opportunity to offer it for export and international competition.

In the same time and according to
several fair experts, Saudi aviation
engineers proved their competence
and high abilities in understanding
sophisticated engineering in the
field of aviation and they received
respect in all scientific forums. This
confirms that we are going on in
developing air industry to serve the

Consolation
He passed away, but his
virtues and good deeds
Remain alive
Saturday 22 October 2011 was
the date of his departure from this
mortal life. On that date the body
of late prince Sultan ibn Abdulaziz
left, but his memoir will remain alive
in the memory of history for a long
time. With his death, the Arab and
Muslim world have lost a visionary
leader, a towering Arab personality
and a great philanthropist. He was
known for his wisdom, benevolence
and philanthropy by everyone.
The Royal Court commended
Prince Sultan’s contributions toward
ensuring the progress and prosperity
of the Kingdom:” While conveying
its condolences to the Saudi people,
we pray to the Almighty that He may
bless the late prince with his mercy
and forgiveness and admit him to
His Paradise and give him the best
of rewards for the contributions he
made for his religion and nation,” It
said in a statement.
He visited Alsalam Aircraft
Company upon the start of its
operations to make sure that the
seed he has sown and gave it all his
4
care and attention was growing well.
Nine years after his first visit, the late
prince Sultan visited the Company
for the second time, particularly in
30 April 2006. The purpose of the
visit was to honor the graduation
of (167) trainees and to again make
sure that strategy to develop
self sufficiency in the field of civil
and military aircraft maintenance,
overhaul and modification through
the transfer of technology and the
development of Saudi nationals was
progressing.
So, he was pleased to see that
his strategy has resulted in actual
achievements on the ground and
was very pleased to see the young
national cadres have been trained
and qualified to work in such
sensitive activities of the Company.
This was reflected in his speech
which included the objectives that
have been achieved, his hopes, and
visions to advance the development
of the aviation industry in the
Kingdom. He said “ Not long ago, we
used to send our aircraft outside the
Kingdom for maintenance, but today
we are performing the same work
here in Saudi Arabia by Saudis” Then
he added “ What makes us more
proud is that the aircraft of sister
and friendly countries are being
sent to us for maintenance, and this
proves that you are doing a good
job”
We still remember his comment
when the company presented him a
commemorative gift on this occasion
“The best gift for me is theses Saudi
graduates”
May God bless late prince
Sulatan and give all the help to his
successors; HRH Prince Naif ibn
Abdulaziz, Crown Prince, Deputy
Prime Minister and Interior
Minister, and HRH Prince Salman
ibn Abdulaziz, Minister of Defense
and his deputy prince Khalid bin
Sultan. We are confidence that the
kingdom will continue its strategy
toward prosperity and success in the
development of the aviation industry
in the region.
