The commercial aviation sector in Jeddah has recently seen remarkable activity as King Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA), managed by the Jeddah Airports Company (JEDCO), reported exceptional operational performance during the dense Umrah season which aligns with Ramadan and continues until the 9th of Shawwal.

During this bustling period, JEDCO introduced several improvements aimed at streamlining the flow of pilgrims through the airport, significantly reducing their waiting times. These enhancements paid off, as evidenced by the impressive figures released. KAIA successfully facilitated the travel of 5.38 million passengers across 32,200 flights, while efficiently handling around 5.3 million bags and processing an impressive 47,000 tons of freight.
