Saudi Arabia is set to transform the aviation landscape in the southwest region as the expansion of Abha International Airport is expected to begin in early 2027. The major development project will increase the airport’s annual passenger capacity to 12 million, supporting the Kingdom’s growing tourism ambitions and strengthening regional connectivity under Vision 2030.
