Saudi Aviation Authority issues new travel guidelines for airlines to fully implement quarantine

The Saudi Aviation Authority has issued new travel guidelines for all airlines, instructing passengers arriving in Saudi Arabia from around the world to fully implement quarantine.

The guideline states that boarding of passengers has been made conditional on the ongoing report of the quarantine unit.

The Saudi Aviation Authority says orders have been issued to chartered service providers, including foreign airlines, to comply with the directive.

The guideline also requires resident and work visa holders to bring a quarantine center report.

The guideline further states that passengers should obtain boarding by obtaining a bar code from the Department of Local Government and Certified Housing Quarantine Centers. Passenger boarding is subject to the Saudi Department of Local Government and Rural Affairs.
