Al-Jasser, who also holds the position of Chairman of the General Authority of Civil Aviation, emphasized the paramount importance of providing exceptional services to enhance the comfort and convenience of guests.

With over 27 government and security entities collaborating in airport operations, Al-Jasser expressed satisfaction with the coordinated efforts to manage the influx of passengers effectively, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency.

During his inspection, Al-Jasser, accompanied by key officials including GACA President Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, CEO Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Mughlooth of MATARAT Holding, and others, toured various terminals and facilities at KAIA.

At the Northern Terminal, Al-Jasser reviewed the spacious sorting area and a waiting lounge capable of accommodating 522 passengers. Meanwhile, Terminal 1 boasts a vast sorting area, waiting lounge for 1,800 passengers per hour, and ample parking for 83 buses.

Additionally, Al-Jasser inspected the Operations and Control Monitoring Center, automated passenger transport facilities, and various lounges to ensure all aspects of airport operations were running smoothly.
