Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has announced the launch of a master plan for the Kingdom’s new Abha International Airport, which, embodying a consistent architectural identity in line with the heritage of the Asir region, will transform it into an important landmark.
By 2028, the terminal area will have expanded to 65,000m2 during the first phase of the plan, increasing its area from the current 10,500m2. The expansion includes the construction of passenger boarding bridges, self-service facilities for streamlined travel procedures, and high-capacity parking facilities.
The design of the new airport will showcase Saudi culture and offer a distinctive travel experience with high efficiency, ensuring seamless services for visitors and travelers.
The airport’s capacity will increase to accommodate over 13 million passengers annually
The airport’s capacity will increase to accommodate over 13 million passengers annually, nearly nine times the current 1.5 million capacity, handling more than 90,000 flights per year.
Abha International Airport will feature 20 gates, along with 41 check-in counters, including seven new self-service check-ins. It is envisaged that the airport will attract more tourists to the Asir region in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.
