The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan have signed an Air Services Agreement, marking a further step toward strengthening cooperation and advancing bilateral relations in the air transport sector. The agreement complements the Convention on International Civil Aviation, also known as the 1944 Chicago Convention, which governs international civil aviation in accordance with the principles of fair and equal opportunity. It establishes a regulatory framework for air services between the two countries, supporting the provision of safe and orderly air transport. The agreement also keeps pace with developments in bilateral air transport regulation concerning the granting of traffic rights and the application of internationally recognized criteria for the designation and authorization of airlines. The agreement will also strengthen aviation safety and civil aviation security rules and standards, promote fair competition, and serve the shared economic interests of the two countries’ national carriers. This will support their active and sustainable participation in the air transport market while enabling them to adapt to modern market-access models and accommodate various forms of air traffic. The agreement is part of the General Authority of Civil Aviation’s ongoing efforts to develop the regulatory framework governing the Kingdom’s air transport ecosystem. It also supports the Aviation Program’s objectives of expanding international air connectivity, strengthening the competitiveness of the aviation sector, and reinforcing the Kingdom’s position as a global logistics hub, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
