GACA and MOOG hold airport safety workshop

A major workshop on foreign object debris (FOD) at airports, which can cause damage worth billions of dollars to airlines, airports, and airport tenants every year, was recently organized by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), in collaboration with MOOG Navigation and Surveillance Systems (NaSS), a company specializing in ground-based navigation systems.

“The main purpose of the workshop was to create awareness about FOD and its serious impact on the aviation industry,” said Suleiman Albassam, GACA vice president. He said the workshop underlined the need for Saudi airports to implement a FOD detection system and apply a FOD management program to ensure safety for passengers, aircraft and airports.

The workshop participants were enlightened about Tarsier, an automatic FOD detection system, before its implementation at major Saudi airports, Albassam said.

The event in Riyadh was attended by industry leaders including Talal Masrahi, GACA’s operations and safety director; and Abdulmohsen Alhobayeb, chief executive of Saudi Information Technology (SIT).

Tarsier FOD Detection System has been installed in world-first class international airports such as London Heathrow and Vancouver for more than 11 years. Tarsier is a military grade radar and camera system.

Cadbury Dairy Milk goes 'Irresistible'


Cadbury Dairy Milk is inviting chocolate lovers to discover something new with the launch of Irresistible — a range created to make every bite feel special, elevated and multi-sensory.

The Irresistible range adds generous, indulgent fillings that bring depth, texture, and warmth to every moment. It’s indulgence redefined. A little extra joy. And a reminder that great chocolate should always feel like a treat.

Irresistible Nutty Cream: Simple. Rich. Completely satisfying. Beneath the classic Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate is a smooth, nutty cream filling that melts beautifully before revealing a gentle crunch. The result is a perfectly balanced bite—creamy, comforting, and quietly indulgent.

Irresistible Sticky Toffee: Inspired by beloved dessert flavors, this variant wraps smooth Dairy Milk chocolate around layers of caramel-flavored crème, soft caramel, and salted toffee pieces. Chewy and deeply comforting, it’s designed to be enjoyed slowly—or shared in moments that matter. 

Available in slices and minis, it brings a little indulgence to any time of day.

Lisa Roberts, head of marketing for the Gulf, Saudi Arabia and developing markets at Mondelez said: “This launch reflects our passion for innovation and our commitment to creating the best experiences for our consumers. With the Irresistible range, we’ve brought together a unique multi-layer, multi-sensory proposition for a more indulgent experience, inviting you to enjoy moments of goodness.”

Every detail of the Irresistible range has been thoughtfully created to deliver a richer chocolate experience. From the generous fillings to the satisfying textures, it’s chocolate made to be savored—not rushed.

With Irresistible, Cadbury Dairy Milk continues to evolve, bringing new ideas to a much-loved classic while staying true to what makes it special. It’s a celebration of flavor, comfort, and the simple pleasure of a great piece of chocolate.

The Cadbury Dairy Milk Irresistible range is now available across the Gulf states.
