Red Sea International Airport (RSI), operated by daa International, has signed a multi-year collaboration agreement with Honeywell to strengthen safety and security at the Kingdom’s next-generation airport.
Under the agreement, Honeywell will supply advanced building automation systems covering safety, security, and building management. These technologies are designed to enhance resilience across the terminal, safeguard passengers and staff, and ensure smooth operations as RSI prepares to welcome more than one million visitors by 2030. The collaboration will also create nearly 50 new jobs, with a strong focus on developing local talent.
Andrew Tyler-Smith, chief executive officer of Red Sea International Airport, said, “Red Sea International Airport is designed as more than just a gateway - it’s an extension of the hospitality and innovation that defines The Red Sea destination. Our collaboration with Honeywell reflects that vision, as we integrate global expertise with daa International’s operational leadership to ensure our guests and airline partners experience a seamless, secure, and technologically advanced journey.”
Nabil Cheqroun, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Building Automation in the Middle East, Turkey and Africa (META), commented, “This agreement underscores Honeywell’s commitment to accelerating Saudi Arabia’s digital infrastructure transformation. By bringing our integrated, smart and secure systems to Red Sea International Airport, daa International will have the tools it needs to help deliver its mission of providing travellers and operators with world-class aviation facility.”
With Honeywell as a key technology partner, RSI is reinforcing its commitment to creating a safe, secure, and efficient airport environment that sets a new benchmark for aviation in the Kingdom.
