The Civil Air Navigation Services Organization (CANSO) has selected Saudi Arabia as the venue for its regional headquarters in the Middle East. The selection was made during the third annual meeting of CANSO which was recently held in San Diego, California and hosted by the US Federal Aviation Agency (FAA). “Selecting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the headquarters of CANSO Regional Office is attributed to the Kingdom's pioneering role in the field of civil aviation industry at regional level," a CANSO statement said. Saudi Arabia was one of the first Middle Eastern countries to join CANSO and benefit from its air navigation expertise.
