New governance regulations are now in place for the General Authority of Civil Aviation (Gaca), the financially and administratively independent body overseeing the Kingdom’s aviation sector, according to a regulation published in the official gazette last Friday.

The details: The regulation outlines Gaca’s authorities and duties, while granting Gaca’s board temporary authority to determine financial charges for its operations (with Ministry of Finance and Non-Oil Revenue Development Center approval) until a new overarching framework is implemented.

The current Gaca board, headed by the Minister of Transport and Logistics, will continue to serve until its term ends or a new board is formed. Similarly, the current President of the Authority will retain his employment benefits and duties until a new President is appointed or four years pass from the issuance of these regulations.
