The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) will join the first Global Logistics Forum, organized by the Ministry of Transport and Logistic Services in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This significant event, taking place at the King Abdullah Financial District, aims to reshape the global logistics landscape.
