Saudi civil aviation authority denies mammoth rise in domestic airfares

RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Civil Aviation has denied reports of a 300 percent rise in domestic airfare during Eid Al-Adha vacation, akhbaar24 reported. 

According to the report, GACA spokesperson Ibrahem Alrwosa said that rumors that surfaced about a rise in airfare are not true. 

Earlier, citing travelers, akhbaar24 reported that airfares increased heavily in the last week of the school year. 

The spokesperson said GACA is always trying to stabilize the aviation sector, while intensifying monitoring and follow-up to provide affordable prices and boost competitiveness.
