The Aseer Development Authority, in partnership with Cluster2 company, has introduced updated shipping procedures at Abha Airport to facilitate the transport of local ghee and honey products. Under the new guidelines, these items can now be included in checked baggage through a streamlined and officially approved process developed in collaboration with the airport's operating company. This initiative, launched under the direction of Prince Turki bin Talal bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Aseer Region and Chairman of the Aseer Development Authority, also has the full backing of Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA).
