Al-Tamimi was appointed to the position in June 2017.
Recently, The General Authority for Civil Aviation (GACA) launched its e-services for licensing the operation of drones, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported Friday.
“If the drone is registered, Saudi Customs will allow it into the country, no problem,” GACA said.
