Saudia Airlines
Saudia Airlines, Saudi Arabia's national flag carrier, whose facilities AZEIDK fitted with fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
Saudia Airlines is Saudi Arabia’s national flag carrier, founded on 27 September 1945. The government-owned airline is part of Saudia Group and is headquartered in Jeddah, with its main hub at King Abdulaziz International Airport and secondary hubs in Riyadh, Dammam and Madinah. It joined the SkyTeam airline alliance on 29 May 2012, the same day it readopted the Saudia brand.
Why fire and life safety matter in airline facilities
An airline relies on ground facilities that keep working day and night: offices, customer-service areas, operations and IT rooms, and technical spaces that support flights. A fire in any of them can disrupt schedules well beyond the building itself, so the priority is reliable early detection that alerts staff before smoke spreads, followed by the right extinguishing method for each space. Rooms holding servers and electrical equipment need protection that limits damage to sensitive equipment, while areas used by the public need clear alarms and accessible exits. Security systems help protect restricted operational areas. Civil Defense requirements and the Saudi Building Code (SBC 801) form the baseline for all of these systems.
AZEIDK’s role
AZEIDK worked on Saudia’s facilities, carrying out the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of fire protection, alarm and security systems according to project requirements.
