Samson Sky, makers of the Switchblade Flying Car, just announced they have signed a significant Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Saudi Aviation Club.

A signing ceremony was held on Opening Day of the spectacular Sand & Fun 2025 Air Show in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between Samson Sky CEO Sam Bousfield and His Excellency Dr. Ahmed Alfahaid, President of the Saudi Aviation Club (SAC). The signing was witnessed by His Royal Highness Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz.

Scope of the Agreement

The MOU includes:

• Samson Sky providing training of Switchblade mechanics and pilots

• Assistance in getting the Switchblade approved for use in Saudi Arabia

• Use of the SAC facilities for sales and demonstrations

• Access to the SAC airport system throughout Saudi Arabia for Switchblade owners

Supporting Regional Connectivity and Vision 2030

“The Switchblade brings to Saudi Arabia a new way to expand regional tourist travel as well as business travel for residents of the Kingdom. This is a large country with many spread out cities,” stated Sam Bousfield, CEO and Founder of Samson Sky.
“Having the Switchblade will bring those cities closer together. This is our part of assisting in the Vision 2030.”

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 includes making the country a global hub for tourism and international trade by expanding connectivity to 250+ destinations. The Saudi Aviation Club contributes to this vision by striving to develop a passion for flying in the skies of Saudi Arabia, and the newly formed partnership with Samson Sky advances this goal.

Switchblade Certification and Deployment

As part of this agreement, Samson Sky will work with the Saudi Aviation Club and the Saudi government to qualify the Switchblade for road and flight use in the country.

The Switchblade has already flown in the United States and is currently being launched into production there. Samson Sky looks forward to partnering with the SAC and bringing the Switchblade Flying Car to the skies of Saudi Arabia.
