A passenger’s documents can now be the reason an otherwise ready flight does not move.

In August, GACA instructed commercial and private airlines operating at Saudi airports to verify the latest entry, exit and transit requirements before boarding.

The check should cover Saudi Arabia, the passenger’s final destination and every transit country included in the itinerary.

For operators and charter teams, document verification should form part of the pre-departure checklist alongside permits, slots and handling—not be left until the passenger reaches the aircraft.

Before positioning the crew or releasing the flight, reconfirm:

✓ Passport validity
✓ Visas and entry requirements
✓ Transit permissions
✓ Final-destination requirements

FlyASM helps coordinate the wider operation so compliance details do not become last-minute disruptions.

Riyadh Air has opened sales for its three-times-weekly Riyadh–Bangkok service, beginning 2 September 2026 and bringing its network to 14 destinations on sale.

The significance extends beyond one new route. Saudi Arabia’s connectivity continues to diversify, linking the Kingdom with important business, leisure and tourism markets across Asia.

For charter and business aviation teams, these changing passenger flows can affect aircraft positioning, crew planning, handling capacity and onward transfers.

Before confirming a Saudi movement, coordinate the route, permits, airport approvals, fuel, handling and passenger arrangements as one complete operational plan.

FlyASM provides 24/7 flight support across Saudi Arabia and its global network.

Saudi Arabia’s international network is expanding at pace. Riyadh Air launched services to Islamabad on 14 August and Lahore on 18 August, while Manila is scheduled to follow on 9 September. The new links strengthen Riyadh’s position as a connecting point between Saudi Arabia, Asia and onward markets.

For operators, more scheduled connectivity also means busier airport systems and greater pressure on slots, stands, handling resources and passenger services. Early coordination remains essential—particularly when an itinerary combines a Saudi arrival with onward regional or international sectors.

FlyASM supports permits, slots, ground handling, fuel and passenger coordination across Saudi Arabia and worldwide.

Plan the complete movement, not only the flight.

Saudi Arabia’s aviation growth is accelerating rapidly across the Kingdom’s entire airport network. ✈️🇸🇦

According to recent data from GACA, Saudi airports handled 140.9 million passengers in 2025, while international connectivity expanded to 176 destinations.

For operators, this impressive network growth brings distinct operational challenges on the ground:
• Busier passenger and VIP terminals
• Tighter slot availability and stricter timing windows
• High demand for ground-handling resources and equipment
• Greater pressure on apron parking and turnaround schedules
• Zero tolerance for late or incomplete permit applications

To ensure smooth operations, operators must submit permit requests well within required lead times, understand destination-specific constraints, and coordinate permits, slots, PPR, handling, and fuel as one unified workflow.

FlyASM supports flight departments and charter operators across the Kingdom through local permit coordination, on-site handling supervision, competitive fuel supply, and complete crew logistics.

Foreign charter operators can apply to GACA for permission to operate domestic flights within Saudi Arabia, following the removal of cabotage restrictions effective May 1, 2025. ✈️🇸🇦

While this regulatory update creates new opportunities, securing authorization is only the first step. An approved domestic sector often requires complex logistical ex*****on, including:
• Applicable flight permissions and clearances
• Slots and PPR at each destination airport
• On-site ground-handling supervision
• Fuel arrangements confirmed prior to arrival
• Seamless CIQ (Customs, Immigration, and Quarantine) coordination
• Complete and compliant crew and passenger documentation
• Local accommodation and ground transportation

Additionally, operating environments vary significantly between major international gateways and regional airports across the Kingdom.

FlyASM provides full-spectrum support for approved domestic sectors, managing local coordination for permits, slots, handling supervision, fuel, and crew logistics.

(Note: All operations remain strictly subject to applicable GACA approvals and local airport requirements.)

Operating into an emerging destination requires more than simply adding another airport to your schedule. ✈️🇸🇦

Key developments like NEOM Bay (OENN / NUM), Red Sea International (OERS / RSI), and AlUla (OEAO / ULH) represent a major shift in Saudi Arabia’s aviation and tourism landscape. However, each gateway presents its own distinct operational considerations:
• Applicable landing permits, slot sequencing, and PPR requirements
• Ground-handling scope and local on-site coordination
• Jet fuel availability and delivery arrangements
• Ramp parking constraints and turnaround limitations
• Crew accommodation and ground transportation
• Local escalation support when schedules shift unexpectedly

These requirements must be evaluated for the specific airport rather than treated as a standard, blanket operating procedure for Saudi Arabia.

FlyASM coordinates permits, airport arrangements, fuel, ground-handling supervision, and crew logistics for supported operations across the Kingdom.

Hajj and Umrah seasonal airlifts continue to place sustained pressure on slots, aircraft stands, and turnaround times across Saudi Arabia’s key gateway airports. ✈️🕋

According to the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), over 3.1 million inbound and outbound seats were prepared for the 1447 AH (2026) season across more than 12,000 scheduled and charter flights.

These extensive operations were supported through six primary hubs:
• Jeddah — OEJN / JED
• Madinah — OEMA / MED
• Riyadh — OERK / RUH
• Dammam — OEDF / DMM
• Taif — OETF / TIF
• Yanbu — OEYN / YNB

For operators preparing ahead for the 1448 AH (2027) seasonal programme, early coordination is essential. Securing slot sequencing, permit documentation, stand availability, ground-handling support, crew accommodation, transport, fuel, and robust diversion strategies well in advance will ensure seamless ex*****on.

FlyASM provides end-to-end operational coordination across the Kingdom, managing:
- Overflight and landing permits, slots, and PPR
- On-site ground-handling supervision
- Competitive fuel arrangements
- Complete crew logistics and local support

Regional airspace conditions can change a workable route after the schedule has been built.

Operators transiting or landing in Saudi Arabia should account for current NOTAMs, authority requirements and possible tactical rerouting.

Four considerations to build into your planning:
• Submit permit applications within the applicable lead times, allowing for authority working days and public holidays.
• Carry an appropriate fuel margin if the tactical routing may differ from the filed route.
• Confirm slots and PPR separately from the flight permission — a permit is not a slot.
• Keep operator, aircraft and crew documentation complete and current.

FlyASM prepares, submits, and follows up on permit applications with GACA, keeping operators informed of the status, conditions, and any additional requirements. Final permission remains subject to authority approval.

Abha Airport Reaches New Operational Peak

Saudi Arabia’s busiest operational days are no longer limited to Riyadh and Jeddah.

On 5 July, Abha International Airport handled more than 130 flights in a single day—the highest number ever recorded at the airport.

This milestone highlights growing demand across the Kingdom’s regional aviation network. However, increased traffic also brings greater operational pressure.

During peak periods, operators should reconfirm:

Parking and stand availability

Ground-handling capacity

Fuel delivery arrangements

Crew and passenger transport

Realistic turnaround times

A workable alternate airport

A schedule that works during normal traffic may require additional margins during peak operating windows.

Regional growth creates opportunity—but early coordination is becoming increasingly important.

Saudi aviation had a standout summer.

Riyadh Air continued to build momentum, and Farnborough 2026 highlighted just how active Saudi carriers are becoming on the global stage. The Kingdom is not only expanding its fleet — it is also strengthening the operations, infrastructure, and support network behind it.

Aircraft orders make headlines. Operations make them fly. Every new delivery means more movements, more slots, more permits, and more handling on the ground in Saudi Arabia.

That’s where we work: 24/7 flight support and charter across the Kingdom.
