GACA has granted the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) to the national carrier @RiyadhAir, paving the way for the start of its operations. The certificate was issued after the airline met all regulatory requirements and safety standards.
The rigorous certification process extended over 11 months, involving a dedicated team of 10 Saudi aviation safety inspectors who conducted over 200 hours of test flights to ensure compliance with the highest operational standards.
Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas highlighted the significance of this achievement:
Obtaining the Air Operator Certificate is an important milestone in the company’s journey. It is the result of the efforts of many employees at Riyadh Air. Today, we can proudly say that Riyadh Air is now an airline with an operational license to transport our traveling guests, and we are ready to begin operations later in 2025.”
