Saudi Arabia to resume international flights in May
Jeddah: Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has announced May 17 as the date for the resumption of international airports and the complete opening of airports in the country.
In a circular on Wednesday, the GACA informed all airlines operating from the Saudi airports about the change of the date mentioned in an earlier circular for allowing Saudi citizens to travel abroad.
In the earlier circular the GACA notified the airlines for the resumption of service, which was March 31.
Moreover, the aviation entity confirmed complete lifting of the suspension of international flights, and the opening of the Saudi’s airports.
The implementation of the decision to allow travel and return would not be applicable to countries that the authority decides to suspend travel or return due to the outbreak of pandemic in the Kingdom.
As per sources, the move to extend the date was made due to the importance of reaching high levels of immunity in Saudi Arabia before travel is permitted, following a possible second wave of the pandemic in various countries.
