The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in Saudi Arabia has been granted substantial financial and administrative independence under new regulatory reforms. These changes empower GACA with broader authority to regulate and develop the aviation sector, aligning closely with national strategy goals for transportation and logistics, and positioning the country as a more attractive investment destination.
The reforms enhance GACA’s oversight capabilities across a wide range of operational domains, including aviation security, environmental protection, frequency allocation, and navigation systems. With strengthened jurisdiction over both airports and aviation-related companies, the authority is now better equipped to implement unified standards and ensure safer, more efficient operations throughout the aviation ecosystem .
This regulatory evolution supports Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 by reinforcing its commitment to modernizing infrastructure and fostering growth in the aviation industry. By empowering GACA with comprehensive oversight and regulatory independence, the country is building a more resilient, strategically managed aviation environment—and signaling its readiness to welcome greater regional and global air connectivity.
