Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
King Fahd International Airport (ICAO: OEDF / IATA: DMM)
Location (City, Country)
Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Airport Type & Size
DMM features two parallel runways, each 4,000 meters long:
- Runway 16R/34L
- Runway 16L/34R
While the airport is classified ICAO Code E (can receive B747-400), taxiways and stands are not built for Code F aircraft such as the A380.
- Main Passenger Terminal is centered between the runways and includes 11 jetways
- Cargo Terminal is at the northern end of the runways
- Corporate Terminal is accessed via Runway 16L/34R (used by Saudi Aramco Aviation)
- Royal Terminal is located at the southern end of the eastern runway, used exclusively for heads of state and royal events
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
DMM would provide a new Mid-size gameplay experience — a balance between high-reward mega hubs (LHR, IAD) and laid-back smaller airports (INN, SXM). Its unique dual-runway logic, including corporate-only and royal-only operations, adds depth and realism to gameplay.
The layout encourages strategic taxiway and runway use, with overpass taxiways that bridge local highways — a visually and technically interesting feature.
