## 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. The airport runs a dedicated cargo village with modern handling facilities; under a Saudi master plan backed by roughly SAR 1.6 billion (USD 426 million) of investment, annual cargo capacity is set to grow to more than 600,000 tonnes by 2030 — over ten times today's level. One of the largest airports in the world by land area, 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.
