King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh has announced that terminal operations will resume on Sunday, October 25, 2026, with flights distributed across two terminals.
Under the new arrangement, Terminal 1 is designated for domestic flights, while Terminal 2 handles international flights operated by Saudi national carriers. Travelers are advised to check which terminal serves their flight before heading to the airport.
Passengers should confirm their flight status and the correct terminal directly with their airline ahead of travel. This step helps avoid confusion at drop-off points and ensures a smoother check-in experience, particularly for those with connecting journeys or early departures.
The update matters to the large number of residents and visitors who rely on Riyadh's main gateway for both domestic and regional travel. Knowing in advance whether to head to Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 can save time and reduce stress on the day of departure.
For now, the airport advises all travelers to allow extra time, keep travel documents ready, and rely on their airline as the primary source for terminal and flight details before setting out.
