RIYADH: After facing chaos during the peak season due to flight delays and mishandled luggage, the board of directors of Jeddah Airports Co. has appointed Ayman Aboabah as acting CEO of Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport. 

Aboabah will replace Ryyan Tarabzoni, according to a statement. 

The decision from Jeddah Airports Co. came after the Saudi minister of Transport Saleh Al-Jasser ordered an emergency probe to investigate the chaotic scenes at the airport. 

Aboabah has 28 years of experience, where he had held several leadership positions including the vice president for operations at Riyadh Airports Co.
