King Abdulaziz International Airport Hits Record 50 Million Passengers in 2025

   Jeddah, December 14, 2025, SPA -- King Abdulaziz International Airport recorded a new historic milestone, reaching 50 million passengers in 2025, marking the highest number ever recorded by a Saudi airport since the launch of civil aviation in the Kingdom, and placing it among the world's mega airports in terms of passenger numbers.
   This achievement reflects the qualitative transformation at King Abdulaziz International Airport and its growing status as a regional hub and national gateway connecting the Kingdom to the world.
   It also underscores the airport's vital role in enhancing the Kingdom's position as a global tourist destination and a gateway to the Two Holy Mosques by facilitating the movement of visitors, Umrah performers, and pilgrims, and supporting the tourism sector in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 to diversify the economy and provide an exceptional travel experience.
   In this context, Jeddah Airports Company (JEDCO) celebrated the arrival of the 50-millionth passenger at King Abdulaziz International Airport, a French national arriving from Paris on a Saudia flight to participate in a sports tournament hosted in Jeddah.
   She was welcomed by JEDCO's leadership, who greeted her and presented a commemorative gift to mark the occasion.
   JEDCO CEO Eng. Mazen Johar stated that reaching 50 million passengers reflects the airport’s high operational readiness and marks a pivotal milestone in preparations to double this figure in the coming years.
   He noted that this achievement would not have been possible without the support and guidance of the Kingdom’s leadership, the continuous oversight of the Minister of Transport and Logistic Services, the Chairman of the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), and the CEO of  Matarat Holding, in addition to the efforts of all partners committed to providing quality services to passengers and visitors.
