The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in Saudi Arabia says more than 99.86 million passengers departed or arrived through 771,828 flights in the Kingdom’s international and domestic airports in 2018, compared to 92.42 million passengers on board 741,293 flights in 2017.
Gaca says new technologies applied in Saudi Arabia’s airports has contributed to aviation growth in the Kingdom and has provided solutions for passenger’s trips, air cargo and investments.
According to Arab News, GACA earlier reported an 8 percent increase in passenger numbers and 4 percent in flight rates in 2018.
Gaza says it provides information through technology to reduce paperwork, operating costs and streamline business processes while reducing time to address them.
“The GACA is keen to adopt plans to develop the Kingdom’s airports network in order to keep pace with the steady increase in air traffic, increase the reliability of services, maximize geographic coverage and enhance the contribution of the airports to the overall economic growth of the country.”
Gacasa says most prominent among these e-services is the “Self-Services at the Kingdom’s airports” that include check-in kiosks that provide boarding passes and luggage identification cards and self-service baggage drops that allows passengers to self-check their luggage.
