A royal decree appointed Abdelhadi al-Mansouri president of the General Authority for Civil Aviation , which oversees airport operations across the country. His predecessor was sacked in January. Disgruntled travelers took to social media to complain. A photo of an information board at Riyadh airport showed delays on almost every domestic route, and a video showed scores of people crowded outside a state-owned Saudi Arabian Airlines ticket office.
Saudia, which seemed to have most of the delays, called them “exceptional” and attributed them to “unusual operation conditions”.
