Three ways to be represented in the Kingdom
Most airlines start with legal representation and government platforms, then add airport or seasonal representation as operations grow. Models can be combined in one agreement.
Legal representation & government platforms
We become the Saudi entity your airline operates through: we handle registrations and day-to-day follow-up with platforms and authorities, while every commercial and operational decision stays with you.
What's included
- Legal representation before GACA and government authorities
- Official records, national address, and opening and maintaining bank accounts
- Registration and account management on Qiwa, Mudad, Muqeem and GOSI
- Work visas, residency permits, exit/re-entry and final exit for your staff
- Wage Protection System (WPS) files and payroll processing based on your transfers
- Tracking GACA invoices and fees, with alerts before anything falls due
- A Jeddah office in your airline's name when needed, at your cost
- Monthly report of all transactions and upcoming dates
Airport representation & ground-handling supervision
Your eyes at the airport: a representative who knows the Western Region terminals and ground-handling providers, follows every flight from landing to departure and escalates anything that needs your decision.
What's included
- Representing your airline before airport management and the agencies working there
- Negotiating and contracting with ground-handling providers on the best terms
- Supervising ground-handling delivery against your contract and service levels
- Monitoring flights, delays and diversions, and coordinating with your crews
- Passenger support during disruption and follow-up on baggage claims
- Weekly operations reports and review of supplier invoices before approval
Seasonal Hajj & Umrah agent
For carriers that fly Hajj or Umrah only: we take care of permits, scheduling, temporary visas and on-site supervision, so you can focus on flying.
What's included
- Seasonal flight permits and scheduling with GACA
- Operating forms, official correspondence and schedule changes during the season
- Temporary visas for crews and seasonal staff
- Coordinating and supervising ground-handling providers
- A representative at the airport for every arrival and departure
- End-of-season report with figures and observations
Which model fits you?
| Model | Contract | Fee model | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| A. Legal representation & platforms | Annual, renewable | Fixed annual fee | Entering the market or needing a compliant presence without a branch |
| B. Airport representation | Annual or per flight | Monthly fee or per flight | Operating regular flights and needing local oversight |
| C. Seasonal Hajj & Umrah agent | One season | Per flight or per passenger | Operating Hajj or Umrah flights only |
All three models can be combined in one agreement, with a package discount.
What airline managers usually ask
In most cases, yes, unless that office is a branch registered in the Kingdom. A sales office cannot register on Saudi government platforms or represent you before GACA; a licensed commercial agent can. We confirm what applies to your carrier on the first call.
Your airline remains the actual employer and is responsible for Saudization ratios. We handle the procedures, registrations and platform follow-up for you.
You transfer salaries to an account dedicated to you; we file the Wage Protection System records and pay out based on your transfers, keeping your funds fully separate from ours.
The representation agreement sets out responsibilities clearly, and we track GACA fees and invoices as they come so nothing builds up.
Two to four weeks for legal representation after signing and receiving your documents; seasonal services follow the season calendar.
