Public Management Class

PMIA Airport is the gateway to Madinah. Millions of passengers use our terminals each year - 24 hours a day, seven days a week - to connect with people and places across the world. As many as 4,000 people work at the airport each day and thousands of more jobs are indirectly linked to its operation and growth. We aim to provide the best airport operations services that meet the highest global standards and the customers’ various needs. It is the fourth busiest airport in Saudi Arabia, handling 6,572,787 passengers in 2016, including 719,638 Hajj charter and 818,092 Umrah charter passengers.

Already we have achieved success in further improving the world-class facilities we offer at Madinah Airport. The new Hajj Terminal and 6 state-of-the art Hajj Pavilions, top-notch food outlets, and world-class duty-free shops are perfect examples of this passenger focused approach. However, we need to go even further. In the year ahead we will continue to introduce new ways of providing services and products that will ensure the time our passengers spend with us is quality time.
