About King Abdulaziz International Airport
Overview
King Abdulaziz International Airport serves as a primary international gateway located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Situated at 48 feet mean sea level, the airport is a critical transportation hub for the western region of the country, handling significant international and domestic passenger and cargo traffic.
Flying Conditions
Jeddah's coastal location near the Red Sea creates complex meteorological environments with potential for rapid weather changes. Pilots should anticipate potential thermal variations and occasional humidity-related visibility challenges, particularly during summer months when temperatures can be extreme.
Notable Features
The airport features three substantial runways, with two concrete (16C/34C and 16R/34L) and one asphalt (16L/34R) runway, each exceeding 12,000 feet in length. These extensive runway configurations provide operational flexibility for various aircraft types and support high-capacity international air traffic.
Approach Considerations
Runway selection will typically depend on prevailing winds, with the three parallel runways (16C/34C, 16L/34R, 16R/34L) offering multiple approach options. Given the airport's coastal positioning, pilots should be prepared for potential wind shear and turbulence conditions, particularly during seasonal meteorological transitions.
