The privatization of Qassim Airport is moving on the right track and the National Center for Privatization (NCP) will offer it soon, said Rumaih Al-Rumaih, Vice Minister of Transport and Logistic Services.

He added that the public transportation project in Qassim, which was launched this year, will link Buraidah with Unaizah, noting that this will start as a basic project, and then expansions will follow.
