Gowadia ways to apply pre-screening on travelers to the United States through King Khalid Airport in Riyadh and King Abdul Aziz Airport in Jeddah.
The meeting tackled mechanisms of applying the pre-screening program on travelers to the United States in order for citizens and residents to travel easily.
