Airport contact
Saudi Arabia's fourth-busiest airport (10.9m passengers in 2024) and the principal gateway for pilgrims visiting the Prophet's Mosque, so it absorbs heavy seasonal charter and scheduled surges during Hajj and Ramadan/Umrah; Saudia is the dominant hub carrier alongside flynas and flyadeal. A Phase II terminal/airfield expansion is under way to lift capacity from 8m toward 17m passengers/year by 2027.
