Abha International Airport is set to handle more than 10,000 scheduled flights during the Aseer Summer Season from early June through the end of August 2026, according to Cluster2 Airports Company.
The airport is expected to offer more than 1.8 million seats on inbound and outbound flights during the period, reflecting rising travel demand to and from the southwestern Saudi region.
Abha Airport currently serves 15 year-round destinations, including Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Madinah, Tabuk, Dubai, Sharjah, Doha, Muscat, Port Sudan, Cairo, Sohag, Giza, Addis Ababa and Istanbul. Seasonal summer routes to Trabzon, Kuwait and Qassim have also been added.
The expanded flight network is expected to increase visitor traffic to Aseer, a region that has become a growing destination for tourism and business activity. Higher passenger volumes are also expected to support sectors linked to travel, including hotels, restaurants, transportation, retail and seasonal events.
