Air Arabia consortium secures AOC ahead of Saudi low-cost carrier launch

The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) recently awarded an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) to a consortium led by Air Arabia. This certification precedes the anticipated launch of several new low-cost carriers within Saudi Arabia. The AeroTime report details that GACA granted this crucial permit, facilitating operational readiness for the upcoming aviation ventures. Specifically, the Air Arabia consortium is poised to commence operations following receipt of the AOC. This development underscores ongoing efforts to expand air travel accessibility and competition in the Kingdom’s burgeoning aviation sector.
