Resumo

The aviation industry is an important player in achieving economic diversification policies outlined in Saudi Vision 2030, with aviation fuel operations playing an integral part of this system. It is imperative that there is high-quality performance of aviation fuels safety management in order to optimize aviation performance and achieve sustainable development. This paper explores the relationship between aviation fuel safety management and its influence on aviation performance to promote economic diversification policies in Saudi Arabia. Using the qualitative and conceptual approach to carry out this analysis, it will focus on factors such as fuel management operations, risk management systems, regulations, and workforce competence. Results show that proper fuel safety management can effectively mitigate hazards, avoid any occurrence of accidents, and maintain constant aviation services. In addition, this study emphasizes the integration of advanced technology, training programs, and safety culture in the aviation fuel management operations process.
