Diversification is about envisioning CATRION as a multifaceted entity that can capture various opportunities” Wajdy M. Al-Ghabban Chief Executive Officer.

Notably, Vision 2030 outlines ambitious targets for the aviation sector – tripling airline passenger numbers to 330 million; the entrance of new airlines; fleet expansion by low-cost carriers; and an increased frequency for international flights. These advances provide CATRION with a significant opportunity to apply our extensive expertise in in-flight catering, retail and services. Making the utmost of opportunities in the aviation sector remains crucial to CATRION, yet we also recognize the importance of extending our portfolio of skills. We have diversified into other areas in order to create a balanced business with targets in numerous fields of specialization.

Our expertise now extends into retail, lounges, healthcare, railways, and integrated facilities management. CATRION is on course to achieve the goal of generating half of our revenues from non-aviation activities. This strategic objective is achieved through targeting the growth opportunities presented by Vision 2030’s Giga Projects, as well as actively pursuing mergers and acquisitions. In addition, we have conducted a comprehensive review of our operations, identifying areas that can be digitalized or automated to enhance efficiency. With rapid expansion comes the imperative to safeguard our systems, website and payment gateways.

CATRION has taken every precaution to protect against potential threats by implementing cutting-edge cybersecurity measures across our organization. To further enhance this critical aspect of our business, we have established a dedicated department solely focused on overseeing cybersecurity protocols. The progress we have achieved over the past two years can be attributed to the astute guidance provided by our esteemed Board, the dedication of our workforce and the loyalty of our valued clients. Additionally, our strategic partners and stakeholders – together with the support and oversight of key entities such as the Government, Ministry of Health, and the General Authority for Civil Aviation – have played a pivotal role in our continued success.
