Jetex Earns First Saudi Ground-handling Approval
The company will support service at Red Sea International Airport
Jetex and GACA officials
Jetex and officials from Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation mark the licensing of the company to perform ground handling at its first location in the kingdom.

Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) has awarded global aviation services provider Jetex a ground-handling license at Red Sea International Airport (OERS), the FBO chain's first location in the kingdom. Located in Hanak in the northwestern part of the kingdom, OERS—which began operations in 2023—serves the Red Sea Destination, a rapidly expanding coastal tourism area.

“The issuance of this license reflects the continued growth of general aviation at [OERS] and its expanding role in supporting premium tourism at The Red Sea Destination,” said GACA executive v-p Awad AlSulami. “By enabling high-quality ground-handling services at this airport, GACA is strengthening private aviation infrastructure to meet rising demand and to support Saudi Arabia’s emerging luxury destinations in line with Vision 2030.”
