King Khalid International Airport (RUH), 35 km north of the city. It has a dedicated business aviation terminal, separate from the commercial terminals, with customs and immigration.
Every private flight needs a landing permit from the Saudi authorities, and passengers need a visa, often available online. Allow two to three weeks if possible: we prepare the permit and explain the visa steps.
For every trip, we check the state of the airspace, landing permits and official travel advice. If the situation requires it, we suggest another airport or other dates, and we tell you before any booking.
