Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Civil Aviation announced on Tuesday the opening of Neom Bay Airport in the northern region of Sharma.
The Authority said that the airport has been licensed and was ready to receive commercial flights starting next Sunday, after the first phase of development work was completed and was registered by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) earlier with the code “NUM.”
Neom Bay Airport will conduct regular flights to investors and employees of Saudi Arabia’s giant Neom project. It is also considered a new window on the Red Sea. It is one of the most modern and important airports in the Middle East region and the most geographically distinct since it is located on the borders of three countries: Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt.
The airport establishment comes within Saudi Vision 2030 and aims to support the development of the national economy by creating a modern and global logistics platform for organizations and individuals around the world.
The total area of the airport is 3,643 sq. meters and has a hangar to accommodate as many as six aircraft.
