Saudi Arabia's Cluster2 Airports has announced the upcoming launch of a project to complete the development of Al Jouf International Airport, as part of the operational plan for developing the Al Jouf region launched by the region's Strategic Development Office under the patronage of Prince Faisal bin Nawaf bin Abdulaziz, in a move aimed at turning the airport into one of the most prominent drivers of development in the north of the Kingdom.
A post on Cluster2 Airports' LinkedIn account said the project will raise the airport's capacity from 175,000 passengers a year currently to about 1.6 million passengers a year, an increase of more than 814%, with the main terminal expanded to an area of 24,000 square meters.
After its development, the airport will also include:
16 check-in counters and two self-service kiosks.
3 baggage belts and two double passenger boarding bridges.
5 domestic departure gates and 2 international departure gates.
460 parking spaces, including spaces dedicated to electric vehicle charging.
3 security screening points and modern passport control counters.
The project is expected to help strengthen Al Jouf's position as an attractive economic and tourist destination and support the targets of Saudi Vision 2030 by increasing travel and investment in the north of the Kingdom.
