King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, is one of the largest and most advanced airports in the world today. But the airport's history dates back to 1983, when the Kingdom's late monarch, His Majesty King Fahd bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, approved the construction of the mega airport in the Eastern Province.
The airport's construction took six years to complete, and it was officially inaugurated in 1999, when the first commercial flight took off from KFIA.
Since then, the airport has continued to grow and set new records for passenger traffic.
Located in the heart of the Eastern Province, KFIA covers an area of 77,600 square meters with a design capacity of processing 24 million passengers annually.
The airport's infrastructure can handle aircraft from the smallest regional jets to the world's largest commercial airliners.
