King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, operated by Riyadh Airports Company, received about 3.9 million passengers on 26,000 domestic and international flights in July 2025, the highest monthly operational traffic in the airport's history in terms of passengers and flights.
On one day of the month, the airport also recorded 142,538 passengers, the highest daily passenger number since it opened. The figure broke the previous record set on August 1, 2024, which stood at 131,691 passengers, an increase of 8% in one year, according to the Saudi Press Agency website.

Aboabah added that these results reflect Riyadh Airports' commitment to applying the highest operational standards and serving passengers efficiently, stressing that achieving these figures is part of the airport's strategic vision as the gateway to the capital and of its pivotal role in supporting the targets of the Aviation Program and strengthening the Kingdom's regional and international standing, in line with Saudi Vision 2030.
