## Description

Crude oil, not air cargo, is the commodity that made Ras Tanura a household name in shipping: the town hosts one of the world's largest oil-export terminals and a major Saudi Aramco refinery. The local airstrip, however, carries no IATA code, no scheduled flights and no commercial freight terminal. What Ras Tanura ships leaves by tanker and pipeline, never by aircraft. General and express cargo for the Eastern Province moves through King Fahd International (DMM) at Dammam, some 50 km away, with Saudia Cargo and bonded customs. For aviation logistics, Ras Tanura sits in the shadow of its seaport.
