GACA is Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation, the regulator at the centre of the Kingdom’s airport, airline, safety, and air-connectivity expansion. Headquartered in Riyadh and led by President Abdulaziz Al-Duailej (appointed 2021), GACA coordinates the aviation plank of Vision 2030, including the 2030 target of approximately 330 million passenger throughput, connectivity to more than 250 international destinations, the launch of new national carriers, and airport expansion anchored by King Salman International Airport, King Abdulaziz International Airport, and the broader Saudi airport network.

The Saudi airport expansion programme is modernising existing gateways, building new airports, and raising passenger capacity across the Kingdom toward a 330 million passenger target by 2030. The aviation-sector transformation is driven by Vision 2030’s targets for tourism, Hajj and Umrah facilitation, economic diversification, and Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a global aviation hub. The programme is coordinated through the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) and related airport companies, with major projects supported by development authorities and the Public Investment Fund.
