On 2 December, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Lithuania signed an agreement to enhance cooperation in air transport services. The accord was formalized by General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) President Abdulaziz bin Abdullah Al-Duailej and Lithuanian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq Ramunas Davidonis during a ceremony at GACA's headquarters in Riyadh.
The agreement sets a regulatory framework for air transport operations between the two countries and aligns with the goals of Saudi Arabia's civil aviation sector strategy. It aims to expand the operational network of national carriers, elevate the Kingdom's status as a global logistics hub, and increase its global air connectivity to 250 destinations.
The agreement also supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 by contributing to ambitious targets, including transporting 330 million passengers annually and establishing Saudi Arabia as a global logistics platform.
