Access
King Fahd International handled 13.7 million passengers in 2025 and is the only large Saudi airport with runway headroom; during airspace closures it absorbed Kuwaiti and Bahraini flights. SAR East Train reaches Dammam from Riyadh in four hours, Al-Ahsa in one hour fifty. Add the causeway to Bahrain: part of Khobar demand arrives by road, never touching the terminal.
