Better facilities for the handicapped at Jeddah Airport

Talking about the services, GACA PR Director Khalid Abdullah Al-Khaibary said: "We are assigning top priority to the handicapped, especially women, and extending them the best possible facilities so that they have a smooth passage through the airport until they board the aircraft. The arrangements are designed to ease their journey at all stages and reassure them that in many cases they can travel independently without the assistance of family members. This will also be cost saving for them."

A trial run at KAIA's South Terminal was held to test the new procedures and facilities. Physically disabled people took part in the trial.
