You can expect to manage production schedules, oversee inspections, ensure compliance with FAA and GACA requirements, and drive continuous improvement in alignment with Riyadh Air’s world-class quality and safety standards. Your leadership will be critical in ensuring seamless entry-into-service and maintaining our commitment to operational excellence. This is a pivotal role where your expertise and attention to detail will directly shape the foundation of Riyadh Air’s fleet and guest experience.
