Abstract The Aviation Hub and Expo, in addition to
the School of Aircraft Engineering, is a timetable that can
preview the history of aircraft to date, and develop or plan
air navigation technologies or foundations, and develop the
air transport industry to ensure its safety, security, and
growth. This study collects different types of information
and studies about Aviation Expo around the world and in
Saudi Arabia. In specific, this study investigates case
studies and analysis, identifies project components for
zoning, provides space program as well as determines the
appropriate project location based on the site evaluation
criteria. This project is under the category of education and
entertainment building. The proposed zoning plan includes
the main lobby, administrative areas, education areas,
museum and gallery areas, Skydome cinema and service
areas. Based on the site assessment, the proposed location
for the project is in the Obhur Al-Shamaliyah area of
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Aviation museums vary in size from
housing just one or two aircraft to hundreds. They may be
owned by national, regional or local governments or be
privately owned. A lot of aviation galleries focus on
military or civil flight, or on aircraft history of a particular
period, for example, pioneers flight or the succeeding
golden age among the World War I and II, or a specific sort
of aircraft.

1. Introduction
The aircraft is an air vehicle heavier than the air and is an
air transport. Flying either by sail, by motor or by several
engines, it can fly in the air depending on the force
generated on their wings, or by the force of air drag. Also,
the aircraft require regular maintenance to ensure
airworthiness, maintain aircraft reliability and provide
flight safety [1]. Aircraft is one of the most important
inventions in these days which have contributed
significantly to the development of society at the present
time, and it has transferred the whole world a quantum leap
as it has shortened the distances between people in
different places around the world [2, 3]. The major
importance of aircraft is to shorten the time and shorten the
distance between people, as it is unlike the previous
methods of transportation such as cars and ships, which
needed months to get from the Middle East to the United
States of America.
Aviation was able to enter all areas of life and from the
widest doors, because of the great ease, and the high
efficiency unmatched in linking the different cities of the
world [4]. Some may suggest that the term aviation is
linked only to travel, but the term is actually larger and
more general. The most important areas related to aviation
and aircraft are travel field, business field, military field,
and other using.
Aviation and aircraft are commonly used in travel and
business field. Many people today rely on flying in their
travels from one area to another around the world. Aviation
takes a great deal of time and is easy, convenient and
comfortable for travelers. Airlines are competing around
the world to provide the best services to passengers on their
airlines. Besides that, aviation and aircraft entered the
commercial space from the widest possible range. Aircraft
have the capacity to carry goods, parcels, and letters [5].
