The certificate recognises QAIA’s commitment to prioritising health and safety measures as per the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council Aviation Restart Task Force (CART) recommendations, the ACI Aviation Business Restart and Recovery guidelines and industry best practices.

ACI World first launched the Airport Health Accreditation program back in July 2020 in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. With more than 420 airports accredited since, the program assists airports in systematically demonstrating their health and safety measures to passengers, regulators and governments alike. The assessment covers numerous areas - including cleaning and disinfection, physical distancing (where feasible and practical), passenger and staff health protection, passenger communications and passenger facilities.

“This accomplishment serves as testament to how seriously our airport community continues to take the health and safety of both passengers and employees. Our team and all parties involved have been taking active steps to minimise health risks at the Kingdom’s prime gateway to the world and maintain our Airport Health Accreditation for another year - and for that, I thank them sincerely,” said Airport International Group CEO, Nicolas Claude.
