Operations

The airport was upgraded in late 2009 to enable it to operate international flights with newly expanded arrival and departure lounges. The airport features air bridges that link passenger lounges directly with aircraft, a first for regional airports in the Kingdom.

The airport has 3 cafes (1 before passenger check-in, and 2 after), as well as 2 small shopping areas.

With passenger terminal areas of 8,500 sq. meters that can take up to 500 passengers an hour, the airport features new control towers, cargo facilities and security and safety systems.

On 24 December 2009 Egypt's AlMasria Universal Airlines became the first international airline to serve the airport (with flights from Cairo International Airport).

The contract for the airport expansion project was signed with a national company in June 2006 at a cost of SR188 million
