Overview

Saudi Aramco, the national oil company of Saudi Arabia, owns and used to operate the airport providing logistic support to the remote oil complex. However airport has been abandoned for a long time since the old complex was demolished and a new airport (Khurais Airport) was built next to the newly established complex as part of the Khurais Project
