Sand and Fun 2024 aviation show anticipated to be the biggest aviation expo in the Kingdom's history

A wide array of planes and breathtaking aerobatic displays are enthralling audiences at an aviation event in Riyadh. According to organizers, Sand and Fun 2024, which takes place at the Saudi capital's Thumamah Airport from November 19 to 23, is hoping to draw 100,000 guests this year.

Alongside Prince Sultan bin Salman, the founder and head of the Saudi Aviation Club, Riyadh Governor Prince Faisal bin Bandar officially opened the highlight of the Saudi aviation calendar.

The show inspires the upcoming generation of aviation professionals and highlight advances in the field.

One of Sand and Fun's main draws is a sizable exhibition space where companies can interact, network, and display their skills. With seminars aimed at encouraging young people to think about jobs in aviation, the event also acts as a platform for education.

It takes place at the same time as the Federation Aeronautique Internationale's 118th General Conference, which brings together representatives from 90 nations for important talks regarding general aviation's future.

A range of interactive displays and activities, such as virtual paragliding and rocket-building workshops, are available to visitors at Sand and Fun. The Avitainment Zone, which blends fun and education to pique interest in aviation, is open to families and kids. The show's static exhibition area, which lets visitors get up close and personal with cutting-edge military and commercial aircraft, is one of its most notable aspects.

The event is anticipated to be the biggest aviation expo in the Kingdom's history, with over 100 exhibitors taking part.

Advanced aviation technology like 3D printing, flight simulators, drone demonstrations, and laser shows are on display at the exhibits. The SkyVentures aerial display, which features over 15 international aeorbatic teams, is one of the highlights. Attendees are expected to be enthralled by the exceptional performances of renowned teams, such as the Saudi Falcons and Poland's Phoenix Paramotors Display Team.
