Saudi Arabia's new airport designed by Foster & Partners

Foster + Partners has been announced as the winner of the competition to design the new King Salman International Airport in Riyadh. Saudi culture and identity drive the airport’s architectural design to ensure a unique travel experience for visitors and transit travelers. The master plan will boost Saudi Arabia’s capital as a global logistics hub, stimulate transport, trade, and tourism, and act as a bridge connecting 180 million passengers from East to West.

King Salman International Airport is expected to be one of the world’s largest airports, along with King Fahd International in Saudi Arabia, with around 780 square kilometers built, Denver International (135 km²), and Dallas/Fort Worth International (53 km²), both located in the USA. The mega complex will cover an area of approximately 57 km², allowing six parallel runways and including the existing terminals named after King Khalid.
