## Description

The industrial heartland of Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province — the oil and petrochemical belt around Dhahran, Jubail and Dammam — shapes the cargo profile of King Fahd International (DMM), where project freight, oilfield equipment and industrial goods feature heavily. One of the largest airports in the world by land area, DMM handles over 200,000 tonnes of air cargo a year through a dedicated cargo village with modern handling facilities. Its setting is a logistics asset in itself: the airport sits beside the Arabian Gulf and the King Abdulaziz Port, the Gulf's largest, and connects to the Kingdom's railway toward Riyadh, enabling sea-air and rail-air flows. Handlers including Saudi Ground Services (SGS) and the logistics group Aramex operate on site. The Dammam Airports Company (DACO) runs the airport and is expanding it as a logistics node under Vision 2030. Customs processing and bonded warehousing support import, export and re-export. For shippers in the eastern Kingdom, DMM is the operative air-freight base.
