## Description

Owned by the Ministry of Defence and run by the Royal Saudi Navy as the base of its naval aviation group and Eastern Fleet, Jubail Airport (QJB, ICAO OEJB) lies about 25 kilometres west of the city. The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu originally built it for scheduled service before it was transferred to military control; since September 2014 it has also been open to civil private and business aviation, but no airline operates here. No cargo airline, freighter operation or public air freight handling is confirmed at QJB. Jubail's polymer and chemical exports move by sea in any case, through the King Fahd Industrial Port and the Jubail Commercial Port, feeding the Saudi road and rail network toward Riyadh and Dammam. Air freight for the Eastern Province is processed at King Fahd International (DMM) roughly 80 kilometres south, where customs clearance and capacity are concentrated, with Bahrain (BAH) across the King Fahd Causeway as a second option.
