Makkah Route Initiative Sets Role Model of Saudi Humanity
As one of the most prominent initiatives of Hajj seasons, Makkah Route Initiative stands as a living proof of Saudi Arabia's commitment to offering safe and smooth Hajj journeys. According to the initiative, pilgrims can complete all necessary procedures, including electronic visa issuance, biometric data collection, and airport departure checks in their home country. Therefore, pilgrims do not have to worry about their luggage. Saudi Authorities directly transfer it to their places of residence in Makkah and Madinah. Upon arrival at Saudi airports, the Kingdom offers a warm welcome that truly depicts the spirit of Islamic hospitality. Apart from this, the initiative features a pure humanitarian spirit represented in taking care of the elderly and sick and accompanying them from the start of their journey until they arrive at their residence in the Kingdom. Launched in 2017 as part of Saudi Vision 2030, the initiative features a revolutionary program designed to boost the pilgrimage experience for guests of Allah from Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Morocco, Bangladesh, Turkey, and the Ivory Coast. The initiative has served more than 617,756 pilgrims in collaboration with the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health, Hajj and Umrah, and Information, the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority, the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), and the Guests of God Service Program.

Number of Saudis working in occupational safety professions jumps 130% to 29,000
RIYADH — It was revealed in the 7th Global Occupational Safety and Health Conference, being held in Riyadh, that there was a 130 percent jump in the number of Saudis working in occupational safety and health professions, reaching more than 29,000. The private sector's compliance rate with safety standards has also risen to 90 percent, while national plans target 72 percent overall compliance by the end of 2024. At the same time, the Saudi aviation sector is confidently moving forward, aiming to serve 300 million passengers annually by 2030 and reach 250 international destinations, as part of a strategy to connect the Kingdom to the world and transform it into an international logistics platform. Total jobs created in the aviation sector reached 270,000. Addressing the conference on Monday, Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, president of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), emphasized that smart technologies and digital transformation represent a key pillar in supporting occupational safety and enhancing protection within airports and aviation facilities. He noted that they are among the GACA's priorities in light of the sector's significant expansion and rapid development. Al-Duailej said that the authority is working to develop the work environment at airports through an integrated system of advanced technologies, including smart monitoring systems for work conditions, linking them to real-time surveillance cameras, predictive analytics based on big data to identify risk indicators, training using virtual and augmented reality technologies, and the use of smart positioning systems to track vehicles and equipment within the airfields, which contributes to regulating traffic and avoiding collisions. Saudi Arabia is accelerating its transformation in occupational safety and civil aviation, driven by Vision 2030, which places human and a safe environment at the heart of development priorities. Economic expert Eid Al-Eid said that these transformations reflect economic and institutional maturity and that the creation of 270,000 jobs in the aviation sector reflects the Kingdom's drive to develop human capital and promote the principle of localization linked to the expansion of infrastructure and global economic corridors. Al-Eid noted that linking safety and aviation expansion reflects a comprehensive vision that places sustainability and occupational safety at the core of national projects. "These steps are part of an integrated approach to automating safety procedures and enhancing the efficiency of work environments, which will strengthen the Kingdom's competitiveness and make its sectors attractive destinations for international talent and investment," he added. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.
