1,100 unlicensed drivers apprehended at airports

The Saudi Transport General Authority said it apprehended 1,100 people for providing unlicensed transport services to passengers at the Kingdom’s airports in June.

The crackdown was part of a broader campaign staged in cooperation with the Ministry of Interior and other authorities to improve the safety and quality of services provided to travelers, the authority said.

Those found guilty of providing transport services without a license at an airport face having their vehicle impounded and a fine of up to SR5,000 ($1,330).

The campaign is ongoing.
