Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz Airport serves Medina, Saudi Arabia, one of the holiest cities in Islam and home to the Prophet's Mosque (Al-Masjid an-Nabawi). The airport is a critical hub for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims traveling to the city year-round, particularly during peak religious seasons. The airport underwent a major expansion and modernization project, with a new terminal opened in 2015 to significantly increase passenger capacity and improve facilities for the large influx of religious travelers. The facility is managed under Saudi Arabia's broader aviation infrastructure development plans. Operating under the IATA code MED and ICAO code OEMA, the airport handles both domestic Saudi Arabian Airlines flights and numerous international carriers connecting Medina to Muslim-majority countries across the world.
