The Sheikh Saad terminal is the first of its kind in Kuwait, and one of the country’s landmark projects.  It is fully equipped to handle all types of private aircraft, and is equipped with all the facilities needed to provide visitors with the highest possible level of service.

Royal Aviaiton’s chairman Mubarak Al Mascati says: “Sheikh Saad was a very dear and important figure to all Kuwaitis and we believe that we have a clear responsibility to live up to his name and deliver the best possible standard in aviation through the terminal.  It is a matter of pride for us both as Kuwaitis and business people.”

The terminal will also become host to its first and exclusive scheduled service when Wataniya Airways starts on January 24.
