A massive airport is going to be built, according to Saudi Arabia. On Monday, the proposal was revealed to the press by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. He promised that his nation will upgrade Saudi Arabia's current Riyadh airport to a six-runway hub that would lead the world. By 2030, he predicted, the airport would be able to accommodate up to 120 million passengers. He continued by saying that the airport would change regional travel. It would rank as the fifth-largest logistics hub in the world. The Saudi Arabian economy would benefit from the new airport as well. The establishment of a second national airline, Riyadh International Airlines (RIA), is a further ambitious proposal. This will face competition from Qatar Airways and Emirates, two regional rivals.


The future King Salman International Airport would cover an area of 57 square kilometers, according to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA). The existing King Khaled Airport will be a part of it. The project will help Riyadh's population increase to 15-20 million people by 2030, according to a SPA official, and it will make the airport one of the greenest in the world. The project is a part of Saudi Arabia's aim to transform Riyadh into one of the top ten city economies in the world. It will be constructed to be 100 percent sustainable. It will be built on modern, eco-friendly designs. Additionally, renewable energy will be used to power it. The hub, according to a project spokesperson, would be more than just an airport; it would be an "aerotropolis".
