Saudi Arabia will resume normal operations for its international flights from May 17th, Thursday onward.
According to Saudi Gazette, Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has confirmed May 17 (Shawwal 5) as the date for the resumption of international airports and the complete opening of airports all over the Kingdom.
A circular released by GACA states the move will be effective from 1am on May 17th and that this decision would not be applicable to countries that the committee decides to suspend travel or return due to the spread of the pandemic.
In the earlier circular issued on Jan. 12, the GACA notified the airlines about the previously scheduled date for the resumption of service, which was March 31.
