- JEDDAH: The General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) met last Wednesday with the Egyptian Authority for Civil Aviation to assess growing demand for travel between the two countries, in particular during the Haj and Umrah seasons and the summer vacation.
Abdullah Rahimi, President of GACA, and his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Hefny also discussed standards of service to passengers on Saudi-Egyptian routes as well as other issues linked to the operation of the two countries’ air carriers.
Both sides agreed to work closer on existing regulatory arrangements between the two countries to ease restrictions and improve air transport.
