Private industrial airport serving Saudi Aramco's Ras Tanura complex.

Location
Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia
Ras Tanura Airport (ICAO: OERT) is a restricted, non-public airport located in Ras Tanura, Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. It primarily serves the operational needs of Saudi Aramco, the state oil company, whose vast petroleum refining and export facilities dominate the Ras Tanura peninsula. The airport is not open to commercial scheduled passenger traffic and does not hold an IATA code. Its operations are largely limited to company and government aircraft supporting the industrial workforce and infrastructure of one of the world's largest oil export terminals. Ras Tanura itself is a company town tightly controlled by Saudi Aramco, and the airport reflects that closed, industrial character. Access is restricted to authorized personnel associated with Aramco and related government entities.

Encyclopaedia

Ras Tanura is a city and semi-governorate in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia located on a peninsula extending into the Persian Gulf, Even though the closest governorate is Qatif and geographically it can be considered part of Qatif, the city is de facto under the administration of the Jubail governorate. The name Ras Tanura applies both to a gated Saudi Aramco employee compound and to an industrial area further out on the peninsula that serves as a major oil port and oil operations center for Aramco, the largest oil company in the world. Today, the compound has about 3,200 residents, with a few Americans and British expats.
