Mukamalah Aviation (Dammam) has expanded its revenue scope following its spinning off from parent Saudi Aramco last year.
Company sources told the Saudi business newspaper Al-Eqtisadiah that although it is still wholly-owned by the Saudi petro-giant, its new found managerial independence has seen it expand its customer base to include other subsidiary companies including Aramco Gulf Operations, the Saudi Aramco Jubail Refinery Company (SASREF), the Red Sea-based Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refining Company (YASREF), energy trader Aramco Trading, King Salman Energy Park (SPARK), Saudi Aramco Energy Ventures, Aramco's VC fund Wa'ed Ventures, and the King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture (Ithra).
Mukamalah was not immediately available for comment.
The sources added that Mukamalah, formerly Saudi Aramco Aviation, is looking to the next stage of its development and expects to expand into aircraft maintenance services, fleet management, and tailor-made VIP private charters using its fleet of 50 overall aircraft including seven B737-800s, one B767-200ER, one DHC-6-300, two Gulfstream Aerospace G650s as well as two Hawker 900XPs, three King air 350s, and a variety of helicopters.
In addition to medical evacuations, geological surveying, and search and rescue missions, Mukamalah flies to eight airports owned by Saudi Aramco, including Ras Tanura, Ras Tanajib, Shaibah, Haradh, Al-Houtah, and Khurais Aramco, from its Dammam base. It also serves nine main Saudi airports - Dammam, Hofuf Al Ahsa, Jeddah International, Riyadh, Jazan, Yanbu, Turaif, Qaisumah, and Arar - in addition to more than 300 helipads both on and offshore.
