The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) in Saudi Arabia has issued a circular to all airlines operating in the Kingdom’s airports, including private airlines, regarding procedures for verifying the immune status of resident expatriates before boarding the departing flight to the Kingdom.
The circular specified the adoption of one of the two methods to verify the eligibility of the resident expat traveler, which is either by showing the status of immunization in the “Tawakkalna” application, or by submitting a report proving immunization in the Kingdom through the “Qudoom” online platform.
