San Marino, Saudi Arabia Authorities Sign Agreement

The Civil Aviation Authority of San Marino has signed an agreement with the Saudi Arabia General Authority of Civil Aviation allowing aircraft registered in San Marino to be operated for commercial purposes by Saudi Arabia air operator certificate holders.

The agreement, known as an ICAO Article 83 bis agreement, provides for the sharing of aircraft regulatory oversight responsibilities between the state of registry, San Marino, and the state of operator, Saudi Arabia. “This agreement is fundamental and marks a new level of cooperation between our two aviation regulatory authorities,” said Marco Conti, San Marino director general of civil aviation.
