Sources we use
In order of preference:
- Official sources: airport operators, the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the official visa portal (visa.visitsaudi.com), Saudi Railways and the Saudi Press Agency.
- Established news organisations quoting those sources, such as Arab News, Asharq Al-Awsat, Gulf News and Reuters. We name the outlet and the date.
- Open datasets for codes and coordinates: OurAirports (public domain) and Natural Earth (public domain).
We do not use forums or anonymous blogs as a source of facts.
When sources disagree
We say so. For example, reported passenger numbers for Madinah airport in 2025 range from 11.7 to 11.9 million, so we show both. If a fact cannot be confirmed, we leave it out rather than guess. This is why the site gives no taxi fares and no visa prices for now.
Dates
Facts that change, such as terminals, visa rules and transport, carry the date of their source. Each page shows when it was last reviewed.
Photos
All photos are real photographs of the places shown, published under free licences (Creative Commons or public domain) on Wikimedia Commons. Each photo is credited with its author and licence on our photo credits page, as the licences require. We never use a photo of one airport to illustrate another.
Corrections
Send corrections to contact@saudiarabiaairports.com with a link to your source if you have one. We check the claim and update the page, along with its review date.
Independence
We accept no payment for coverage and no sponsored content. Advertising, when shown, is served by Google and kept separate from the text.
