Saudi Arabia plans to introduce a regulated air cargo agents system from May 26 this year. In announcing the move, the country’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) urged companies and agents intending to win authorised air cargo agent permits to fulfil certain security and operational conditions and requirements.
The GACA said the new system would facilitate air cargo services as the cargo and packages of authorised companies and agents would be taken aboard civilian and commercial aircraft without further checking.
“In accordance with the new authorised air cargo program, all companies and agents providing the service must obtain air cargo permits that will allow them to ship their packages and consignments without undergoing double and complicated security measures at airport cargo facilities, said the GACA.
