Drone video has divulged construction progress on Red Sea International Airport, which is being designed by British studio Foster + Partners. Shared by developer Red Sea Global (RSG), the video presents a construction update on the airport.
Red Sea International Airport commenced construction in 2021, 15 kilometers inland from the Red Sea coast. It is being designed by Foster + Partners as a gateway to the wider development.
Its curved form and plan are meant to imitate the desert backdrop and will be characterized by a quintet of dune-like pods assembled around a central drop-off and pick-up space. Once completed in 2030, it is anticipated to reach a capacity of one million passengers per annum, the majority of which will be tourists.
“The Red Sea International Airport has been envisaged as a gateway to one of the most unique resorts in the world”
“The Red Sea International Airport has been envisaged as a gateway to one of the most unique resorts in the world and an integral part of the visitor experience,” said Foster + Partners head of studio Gerard Evenden when the project was first revealed. “Inspired by the colors and textures of the desert landscape, the design seeks to create a calm and luxurious journey through the terminal and will become a transit hub for visitors coming in by both land and air.”
