Project summary

JEDCO’s reported expansion pipeline at King Abdulaziz International Airport includes airfield rehabilitation, a five-year construction framework, Terminal 3A, Terminal 1 optimisation, a fuel farm and Concourse C. The programme was presented with phased procurement milestones across 2026–2028, covering terminal, airside and supporting infrastructure.

What to watch

Confirm package releases and prequalification with JEDCO. Reported targets include the framework in Q4 2026, Terminal 3A in Q1 2027, the fuel farm in Q2 2027, Terminal 1 optimisation in Q4 2027 and Concourse C in Q2 2028.

Evidence and access caveats

The six-package plan is attributed to MEED’s 22 September report. No public project-specific JEDCO notice confirming all six tenders was located. The wider airport programme’s SAR115bn estimate is not a verified combined value for these packages.
