His Excellency Mr. Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Duailej, President of General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), extended his congratulations to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, and to His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, as well as to the Saudi people, on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

His Excellency noted that the dedication of the Kingdom’s leadership to serving pilgrims visiting the Two Holy Mosques is seen in the coordinated efforts to streamline services at Saudi airports during the peak Umrah season.

Institutional support for Saudi Arabia’s civil aviation sector has driven significant operational improvements and upgrading of nationwide airport facilities. Through public-private collaboration, this dynamic sector offers premium services to travelers and pilgrims while fulfilling the National Aviation Strategy and Vision 2030 goals.

Al-Duailej drew attention to the notable increase in air passenger numbers during the peak Umrah season. The broad ecosystem of the Kingdom’s civil aviation sector enables smooth arrivals and departures via advanced technologies including self-service passenger processing, which reduce delays while integrating airport systems with other transportation modes. His Excellency affirmed that operational teams have worked round the clock at maximum readiness, to ensure a seamless travel experience.

Concluding his message, Al-Duailej prayed that Almighty God would accept everyone’s fasting and prayers and to bless the Kingdom, its leadership, and its people with prosperity, grace, and abundance on the joyous occasion of Eid al-Fitr.
