The Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation (CANSO) has announced that the Saudi Air Navigation Services (SANS) has won the fifth place in the world in the safety award after competing with a large number of companies around the world.

SANS is the only company that has been included in the final list of the best international participations at the level of the Gulf and the Middle East countries, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

The achievement reflects the important position of the civil aviation sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia around the world, as well as its focus on air safety and the efficiency of the performance of air traffic controllers, and consolidates the position of the Saudi company as one of the leaders in the aviation industry regionally and internationally.

The CANSO is launching this global award for the companies with the aim of contributing to the reduction of aviation risks during the twelve months that precede its annual presentation.
