King Fahd International Airport














(Arabic: مطار الملك فهد الدولي‎) (IATA: DMM, ICAO: OEDF) is located 15 kilometers (about 9 miles) northwest of Dammam, Saudi Arabia. It is the largest airport in the world in terms of land area (780 km²). It is also larger than the nearby country of Bahrain.
Completed in 1999, King Fahd International Airport is the third major hub in Saudi Arabia after King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah.
The airport is the hub of Sama Airlines. It mainly serves Dammam, Dhahran, Khobar, Qatif, Ras Tanura and Jubail. However, it serves the entire Eastern Province of the Kingdom as it is the only operational airport in the province.
