The new King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah is 80 percent
complete and would be operational on schedule in 2017, according to
local media.
The new airport, over 105 square kilometers, is considered one of the
most important modern landmarks in the city. It won an award for the
world’s best airport engineering project at the 8th Annual Global
Infrastructure Leadership Forum in 2015 in terms of specifications and
modern technology.
Once all its phases are complete, it will handle up to 80 million
passengers a year. It will feature a baggage system over 33 kilometers,
132 vertical lifts, 32 baggage screening machines, and a smart building
services management system.
