NCB has been supporting Tibah consortium for Madina International Airport. Besides providing bulk of financing, NCB is the Islamic Structuring Bank in this landmark deal. This is the first Islamically structured International Airport financing in the world. Shari’ah compliant financing is primarily asset-based. However critical infrastructure such as airports are essentially owned by governments. The private entities only receive development and operating rights for a finite period.
