Riyadh's King Salman Int'l Airport Transforms Into Green Aerotropolis

The King Salman International Airport in Riyadh is being expanded to be one of the largest airports in the world in a major development project, which will also transform it into one of the greenest!

With a projected size of 57 kilometres squared and six parallel runways, the development project will also add 12 kilometres squared of residential and recreational spaces, luxury shops, high-end restaurants and cafes, and other logistical areas - all while reducing its carbon footprint throughout.

To guarantee a distinctive travel experience for tourists and transit passengers, the airport's design will take into account Riyadh's personality and Saudi culture.

By 2030, the airport will accommodate up to 120 million passengers, and by 2050, it will be able to handle 185 million passengers and 3.5 million tonnes of cargo.
