One ILS-equipped runway of about 2,440 metres, six stands for medium aircraft and a cluster of helipads define Ras Tanajib, a company airfield roughly 130 km northwest of Jubail. Built and operated by Saudi Aramco, it exists to support the remote Tanajib complex and the offshore Safaniya field, the world's largest. Traffic is overwhelmingly corporate — crew, personnel and supply flights — with no public scheduled service and no commercial cargo terminal. Heavy freight reaches the site by road and via Aramco's coastal marine facilities. For air cargo into the Eastern Province, forwarders use King Fahd International (DMM) at Dammam, the area's customs-cleared Saudia Cargo gateway.
