The approval, issued under Part 129 of Saudi aviation safety regulations, supports the Kingdom’s efforts to expand international air connectivity and attract global carriers to its aviation market.
GACA said the move will strengthen links with international destinations, enhance competition in the aviation sector and support tourism, business and investment activity.
