The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has urged Saudi authorities to upgrade some of its systems to reduce the risk of a mid-air crash.
It was revealed last week that Saudi airspace is one of the most potentially dangerous areas to fly in the world, with the rate of near-crashes surpassing seven times the global average.
There are an average of 20 near mid-air crashes in Saudi air space each year, compared to one-three worldwide, a source from the kingdom's General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) told Makkah Daily.
An early warning system that detects when aircraft are coming near each other has not been working for four years, the source said.
