The General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) today won two “NIDLP” awards: one for the most prominent entity in achieving investments and the other for the best entity in terms of executive and financial performance for the year 2024. The awards were presented during the annual closing ceremony of the National Industry Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP).

Representatives from private sector companies, government agencies, and officials from the executive bodies affiliated with the program attended the “NIDLP” ceremony.

GACA explained that these honors reflect its efforts in achieving the program's objectives and underscore the Authority's pivotal role in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s economy as part of Vision 2030. This vision aims to diversify sources of income for the national economy.

The awards also highlight GACA's ongoing commitment to developing the civil aviation sector and improving its executive and financial performance. Additionally, they recognize GACA's contributions to attracting investments and launching promising investment opportunities in partnership with both the public and private sectors. These efforts align with the civil aviation sector strategy, which seeks to double passenger capacity to over 330 million annually, servicing more than 250 global destinations, and increase cargo capacity to 5.4 million tons by 2030.

It is worth noting that the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) aims to position the Kingdom as a global leader in industrial power and logistics. The program focuses on four key sectors: energy, mining, industry, and logistics services, with an additional emphasis on local content and the Fourth Industrial Revolution to maximize the economic impact.
