## Description

Ground handler Swissport opened cargo operations at Tabuk Airport (TUU), formally Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz International Airport, in 2025, adding general and special cargo handling, a pharma centre for perishables and express services aimed at freight forwarders. A joint civil-military field upgraded to international status in 2011, it handles around 1.5 million passengers a year in north-western Saudi Arabia. Its position places it within reach of the NEOM megaproject, which is expected to generate steady demand for construction and supply freight. Saudia and flynas operate domestic links to Riyadh and Jeddah, while flydubai connects Dubai. That makes Tabuk a workable regional entry point for belly cargo and smaller air consignments, with high-volume west-coast freight still consolidating through Jeddah (JED). Customs clearance runs through Saudi Arabia's ZATCA authority on site.
