Flying to Saudi Arabia? Jeddah airport opens new Terminal 4 with phased airline moves

Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport commenced the phased opening of Terminal 4 on Sunday, transferring selected airlines to the new facility as part of a capacity expansion initiative. The airport authority aims to redistribute passenger traffic, increase operational capacity, and enhance travel procedures by modernizing Terminal 4.

Airlines moving to the new terminal include Wizz Air, AJet SalamAir, Fly Jinnah, Nesma Airlines, Akasa Air, SyrianAir, Pegasus, Azerbaijan Airlines, and Tunisair. Terminal 4 boasts a capacity of up to 15 million passengers annually, covering 97,000 square meters and featuring advanced systems and amenities, including dedicated check-in areas for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims.

Airport authorities recommend passengers verify their departure terminal before travel and follow updates from the airport's official channels. The expansion supports Saudi Arabia's aviation growth goals under Vision 2030, targeting over 90 million passengers annually by 2030, with Saudia's fleet set to grow by 12 aircraft in 2026.
