King Abdulaziz International Airport JED / OEJN

Principal ground handler at King Abdulaziz International Airport, serving 100+ local and international carriers; ticketing, check-in, boarding, ramp, load control and representation. SGS was formed in 2011 from the merger of Saudi Arabian Airlines Ground Services, National Handling Services and Attar Ground Handling; HQ on King Abdul Aziz Branch Rd, Jeddah. Listed in the IATA Ground Handling Partner Directory.

Passenger, ramp and baggage ground handling at Jeddah since 2016; on 1 June 2025 Swissport launched coordinated ground handling for Air Arabia across 13 Saudi airports, with Jeddah already one of the six existing stations (alongside Riyadh, Madinah, Dammam, Al-Qassim and Al-Ula) ahead of that expansion, per Swissport's own press release.

Operates and maintains KAIA's fuel depot and hydrant system since 2015 (contract secured that year); manages two depots (12M and 80M litre -- the 80M-litre depot confirmed on JAFTO's own site) and fuel procured from Saudi Aramco bulk plants, run to JIG standards. JAFTO holds the underlying supply/hydrant-access contracts with six into-plane agents at JED: Alshams Energy, APSCO, PASCO, SAS Caltex, UGAFCO and Petrostar (six-ITP roster corroborated independently by Alshams Energy's own partner page and by APSCO's own project page, which describes managing the KAIA ITP facility for "Six (6) Into-Plane Fueling companies").

Bulk Jet A-1 supplier to KAIA via pipeline and storage at the North Jeddah Bulk Plant (NJBP), a confirmed, completed Aramco facility that feeds JAFTO's on-airport depot/hydrant system. Aramco is separately a partner (with TotalEnergies and Saudi Investment Recycling Company) in a national sustainable-aviation-fuel joint venture announced Dec 2024; that project could not be corroborated as Jeddah-specific or Saudia-branded, so a prior draft's "$150m, 5% SAF by 2028" figures have been dropped as unverified.

Into-plane fuelling agent at KAIA operating via the JAFTO hydrant system; APSCO's own site (apsco.com.sa) documents Jeddah aviation fuel-handling operations and describes managing the KAIA Into-Plane facility project for the six contracted ITP companies. (One trade source calls APSCO the historical sole ITP; more recent reporting describes a liberalised market with six competing ITPs at JED -- treated as one of several, not sole, absent an exclusivity document.)

Into-plane fuelling agent operating in Jeddah since 1998 via KAIA's airport hydrant system (Alshams runs its own tank farm only at Medina); serves international commercial airlines under long-term contract and on cash/ad-hoc request. Alshams's own site lists "Jeddah JED-ALSHAMS:IP" among its JIG-accredited operations and names the other five JAFTO-contracted ITPs at KAIA.

Into-plane fuelling agent with its main base of operations at King Abdulaziz International Airport since 1983 (founded as a Saudi-Total JV); supplies Jet A-1 to local and international carriers at KAIA and other Saudi airports. Confirmed via Petrostar's own site (petrostar.com.sa), which describes itself as sole supplier "to most airlines" at KAIA -- a claim not independently corroborated against the other five JAFTO-contracted ITPs.

Into-plane fuelling agent at KAIA; one of six ITPs holding JAFTO supply contracts per Alshams Energy's own partner page, and independently referenced by aviation trade press (Aviation Business ME, Sep 2025) as an active competitor to APSCO for Saudia's fuel volumes in the Saudi market. No company-owned site was reachable, so direct contact details remain unconfirmed.

Into-plane fuelling agent with 46+ years of aircraft-refuelling experience in Saudi Arabia, HQ in Jeddah's Al Salama district; PASCO's own site names Jeddah explicitly as an airport of operation, describing itself as "one of the key fuel suppliers" there performing both hydrant and bowser/refueller fuelling. One of six ITPs holding JAFTO supply contracts at KAIA per Alshams Energy's partner page.

Into-plane fuelling agent listed at OEJN/JED by the AC-U-KWIK aviation FBO/fuel directory (FBO/handler and pilot services); one of six ITPs holding JAFTO supply contracts at KAIA per Alshams Energy's partner page. No company-owned site was verified, so direct contact details remain unconfirmed.

Independent inflight caterer established 1982, located between the International North Terminal and the Hajj Terminal at KAIA; serves private jets, Hajj charters and international airlines including Cathay Pacific and Malaysia Airlines. SATS Ltd acquired a 40% equity stake in April 2011 for ~US$18.5m but fully divested it, with the disposal completed 17 November 2014 per SATS's own SGX disclosures -- AAFC is no longer SATS-affiliated, and current ownership is unconfirmed pending fresh verification.
