Transforming aviation ​

On November 28, 2022, HRH Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman bin Abdulaziz announced the development of King Salman International Airport (KSIA). This ambitious project aims to support Saudi Arabia’s aspirations by establishing a world-class aviation hub for international, regional, and domestic travel. KSIA will serve as a bridge between East and West, a unique place for both visitors and residents, and a gateway to a new era of travel defined by sustainability, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional passenger care.

King Salman International Airport will be located to the North of Riyadh on an extended area adjacent to the existing King Khaled International Airport. The development will cover a total area of approximately 57km2 and include six runways, six terminals, an iconic terminal for travelers and non-travelers, royal terminal, private aviation terminal, cargo and logistics hub, and a real-estate area.

King Salman International Airport is more than just an airport; it is a symbol of Riyadh's ambitions and a key driver for the city's transformation into a global hub for business, tourism, and culture. Riyadh's population is growing, and tourism is a booming industry as Saudi Arabia diversifies its economy. King Salman International Airport is being developed to meet the city's future demands in these areas. It will be able to handle this increased volume of visitors, making it easier for people to come to Riyadh; this will contribute to Riyadh's economic growth.
