Red Sea Global (RSG) has named Dubai based Jetex as the exclusive operator of the private jet terminal at Red Sea International Airport (RSI).
As its first major venture in Saudi Arabia, Jetex will manage private jet services, luxury transfers, and terminal operations.
This partnership aligns with Red Sea International’s innovative design and sustainability focused vision to enhance luxury travel experiences.
Red Sea Global and Jetex Partnership
The partnership between Red Sea Global and Jetex marks a new chapter in Saudi Arabia’s aviation landscape. This collaboration will transform how high-net-worth individuals and luxury travelers experience air travel in the Kingdom.
As Saudi Arabia diversifies its economy and boosts tourism, the demand for luxury travel experiences has surged. RSG recognized early on that to truly position The Red Sea destination as a world-class luxury retreat, it needed to offer seamless and opulent travel experiences from arrival to departure.
After a competitive tender process, Jetex emerged as the clear frontrunner. The Dubai-based company’s reputation for providing exceptional private jet services and its innovative approach to luxury travel made it the ideal candidate to bring RSG’s vision to life.
Jetex: Leader in Private Aviation Industry
As the chosen operator for RSI’s private aviation terminal, Jetex brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for excellence in executive air travel.
Founded in 2005, Jetex has rapidly established itself as a leader in the private aviation industry. The company’s journey from a Dubai-based startup to a global player in executive air travel services is a testament to its commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
With a presence in over 30 countries, Jetex has honed its ability to cater to the most discerning international clientele, making it well-equipped to handle the demands of RSI’s elite travelers.
Jetex’s Operations at RSI
Jetex’s role at RSI extends far beyond simply managing a private aviation terminal. At the heart of Jetex’s operations at RSI is the management of the dedicated private aviation terminal. This involves:
- Overseeing the day-to-day operations of the terminal
- Ensuring the highest standards of cleanliness and maintenance
- Managing passenger flow and security procedures
- Providing a range of amenities and services for private jet passengers
The terminal will showcase Jetex’s expertise in creating luxurious and efficient aviation spaces, setting a new benchmark for private air travel in Saudi Arabia.
Aircraft Handling and Turnaround Services
Jetex will be responsible for all aspects of aircraft handling for private jets arriving at and departing from RSI. This includes:
- Coordinating aircraft parking and positioning
- Providing refueling services
- Managing baggage handling and loading
- Conducting pre-flight checks and preparations
- Ensuring timely and efficient aircraft turnarounds
These services are crucial for maintaining the smooth operation of the private aviation sector at RSI and ensuring that clients experience minimal delays and maximum convenience.

A key component of Jetex’s offering at RSI will be its renowned concierge services. These bespoke offerings are designed to cater to each traveler’s unique needs and preferences. Services may include:

Red Sea International Airport
RSI stands as a testament to innovative design and sustainable development. RSI is within a three-hour flight for 250 million people and an eight-hour reach for 8% of the global population.
Architectural Brilliance of RSI
RSI’s design philosophy centers on creating a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality. The airport’s architecture draws inspiration from the natural beauty of the Red Sea coast, incorporating elements that reflect the region’s landscape and cultural heritage.
Key design features include:
- A sleek, low-rise terminal building that harmonizes with the surrounding environment
- Extensive use of natural light to reduce energy consumption
- Integration of local materials and traditional architectural motifs
- Spacious interiors that provide a sense of openness and tranquility
The result is an airport that serves its practical purpose and acts as a gateway to the luxury experience awaiting visitors to The Red Sea destination.
RSI’s ‘Mini Terminal’ Concept
One of RSI’s most distinctive features is its unique terminal layout. Instead of a single, monolithic structure, the airport employs a series of five independent ‘mini terminals’ arranged in a pod-like configuration. This innovative approach offers several advantages:
- Enhanced passenger flow and reduced congestion
- Flexibility to cater to different types of travelers and flights
- Ability to operate specific sections based on demand, improving energy efficiency
- Creation of more intimate and personalized spaces for travelers
The private aviation terminal, which will be exclusively operated by Jetex, is one of these mini terminals, ensuring a dedicated and tailored experience for executive travelers.
Red Sea International Airport is designed to be more than just a transit point. It aims to be the first taste of the luxury and uniqueness that awaits visitors to The Red Sea destination.
Impact on Saudi Arabia’s Tourism Sector
The partnership between Red Sea Global and Jetex at Red Sea International Airport will significantly impact Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning tourism sector. This collaboration aligns perfectly with the Kingdom’s vision to become a global tourism destination.
The luxury services offered by Jetex at RSI will play a crucial role in attracting high-net-worth individuals and luxury travelers to Saudi Arabia. This influx of elite tourists is expected to significantly boost the country’s tourism revenues.
Shaping Luxury Travel at Red Sea
By offering a seamless, luxurious, and environmentally conscious travel experience, this venture is set to redefine expectations for high-end tourism in the region.
The state-of-the-art facilities, coupled with bespoke services and a commitment to sustainability, position RSI as a premier gateway for discerning travelers visiting The Red Sea destination.
