JAKARTA - King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, recorded a new milestone on Sunday with the arrival of the 50 millionth passenger for 2025.
This 50 million milestone marks the highest number ever recorded by an airport in Saudi Arabia since the launch of civil aviation in the Kingdom, reports the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
