Sensory Room Initiative Launched for Travelers with Disabilities at King Fahd International Airport

Special Advisor to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the King Salman Center for Disability Research Prince Sultan bin Salman bin Abdulaziz inaugurated the sensory room initiative for travelers with disabilities at King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) in Dammam yesterday. The ceremony was attended by President of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) and Chairman of Matarat Holding Abdulaziz Al-Duailej, along with other officials.

 Prince Sultan highlighted the Kingdom's commitment to developing specialized services for people with disabilities and praised the collaboration between the center and its partners at KFIA. He noted that the initiative is expected to be launched soon at King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.

 The sensory room at KFIA is the largest of its kind in the Kingdom, featuring 12 interactive devices and a dedicated space for the elderly. It aims to enhance the travel experience for children with disabilities and the elderly, ensuring a smooth and safe journey for them and their families.

 This initiative builds on a previous agreement between Matarat Holding, the King Salman Center for Disability Research, and Saudi Aramco to improve services for people with disabilities and facilitate their travel through Saudi airports.
