The Saudi Arabian National Guard (SANG) inaugurated its new training base for its aviation wing at Dirab on the southwest outskirts of Riyadh on 19 January even though the facility needs remedial work.

The SANG announced that the base was opened by Prince Abdullah bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, the minister of national defence, and released photographs and a video showing AH-64R Apache, AH-6i, and UH-60M helicopters had been deployed there for the occasion, in addition to the MD 350F helicopters the SANG uses for training. Prince Abdullah was given a tour of the facilities that included several flight simulators.

The problems with the base were detailed in a series of notices released on the US government's System for Award Management website looking for a contractor to fix them, most recently on 7 January.
