Saudi airports could be made autonomous

Muhammad Ali Jamjoom, the Assistant President of Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has said that the kingdom's four international airports, Riyadh, Dammam, Jeddah and Madina, could be turned into totally self-sufficient entities, Saudi Gazette has reported. "This vital project being studied by experts in the GACA is meant to upgrade the potential of the airports, so that they don't rely on the government, which currently provides them with financial and human resources," he said.
