Red Sea Global starts revamping Al Wajh Airport 

Red Sea Global (RSG) is to revitalize Al Wajh Airport (EJH) in Saudi Arabia.

This project is aimed at modernizing the airport to meet international standards. In addition to the enhancement of the current terminal and infrastructure, RSG is set to construct a brand-new international terminal, with the design details soon to be unveiled.

The transformation of EJH will enable it to effectively cater to the burgeoning developments in the region, notably serving as a gateway to the Amaala destination, also developed by RSG. Furthermore, the airport will become the new operational hub for Fly Red Sea, Saudi Arabia's pioneering seaplane company.

John Pagano, the Group CEO of Red Sea Global, expressed his pride in this significant undertaking, stating, "Last year, Red Sea Global announced a growing portfolio of projects along the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. I can reveal the first of those projects is to refurbish Al Wajh Airport, making it a modern airport for the people of Tabuk. It's an honor to be the developer of choice for this important work, ensuring Al Wajh is ready and equipped to support the needs of the growing local community."

This development adds to the burgeoning roster of aviation projects under the RSG umbrella, following last month's launch of domestic flights at the Red Sea International Airport (RSI), which now operates on a regular schedule. Additionally, RSG is actively working on a secondary private airport situated in close proximity to its key destinations.

As part of the comprehensive modernization efforts at EJH, four flights, operated by SAUDIA, will be relocated from EJH to RSI. Starting on October 29, these flights will follow a set schedule, with arrivals at RSI from RUH every Thursday at 3.10pm, and departures to the kingdom's capital from RSI at 4:05pm. A pre-existing Saturday service will land at RSI at the new time of 2.45pm, departing at 3.35pm.

Additionally, a third flight to Riyadh will commence on Sundays, arriving at 8.30am and departing RSI at 9.25am. The airport will also introduce flights to and from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah for the first time. The Jeddah service will operate every Thursday, touching down at RSI at 2.20pm before returning to JED at 3:00pm. A Sunday service will arrive at RSI at 7.40am, departing back to JED at 8.20am.
