The Undersecretary for Civil Aviation Affairs, Captain Abdul Rahman Al Gaoud said he was very happy with the response of the various government departments.
He said “We decided to organize the exercise in the afternoon because of the traffic. We wanted to gauge how long would it take all the services to move through the traffic and come over on the site of crash”.
