King Khaled International Airport maintained its top spot in May among airports catering to 15 mn or more passengers annually, edging King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah for a second consecutive month, aviation regulator Gaca said in its monthly report posted on X.
The methodology: The aviation watchdog tracks 11 metrics on passenger experience, including flight delays, check-in, security, passport and customs control, asset availability and assistance services for individuals with limited mobility.
The breakdown:
- In the 5-15 mn passenger category, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam led the pack, followed by Madinah’s Prince Mohammed bin Abdulaziz International Airport.
- Abha International Airport in Asir ranked first in the 2-5 mn passenger group, followed by King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz International Airport in Jizan.
- The category for airports catering to fewer than 2 mn passengers per year saw Al Qaisumah-Hafar Al Batin Airport in first place.
Domestic airports category: Arar Domestic Airport came in first, outperforming peers by delivering shorter wait times for departure and arrival flights.
