Ahmed Al-Wassiah, chief operations officer at Saudia, told the media, “Saudia places innovation among its top priorities when it comes to aircraft fleet and operations, and with this latest partnership with GE, it enables Saudia to transition to a seamless, all-digital solution for aircraft asset records management.
