RIYADH: King Salman International Airport is set to offer a dedicated area for the private aviation industry and VIPs, featuring exclusive villas, a senior official revealed.
In an interview with Asharq Bloomberg, Marco Mejia, the acting CEO of the airport, confirmed the facility is preparing to welcome dignitaries and private aviation clients within two years, with a dedicated area featuring six villas slated to be fully operational in 2027.
