The General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) has granted AirX Charter a foreign operator permit under Part 129, allowing the company to run on‑demand private flights within Saudi Arabia, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
AirX Charter has gained the permit after meeting all regulatory standards, aviation safety requirements, as well as applicable conditions in the Kingdom.
