## Description

The Royal Saudi Air Force operates this Riyadh base, renamed King Salman Air Base from the former Riyadh Air Base by royal decree in 2015. Tied to the capital's redevelopment under Vision 2030, the site serves defence aviation and holds no commercial cargo role. Air freight for greater Riyadh is handled at King Khalid International (RUH), the kingdom's central cargo airport north of the city. Surface links across Riyadh connect shippers to that hub. For logistics professionals, OERY carries military rather than freight significance.
