About Nejran Airport

Nejran Airport, operating under the IATA code EAM and ICAO code OENG, is a Saudi Arabian government-operated facility managed under the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). The airport has served Nejran’s growing commercial and governmental needs for several decades, handling domestic trunk routes as well as private and executive aviation movements. Its long single runway is well-suited to midsize, super-midsize, and heavy jet operations, making it capable of receiving the full spectrum of business aircraft commonly chartered across the Arabian Peninsula. Terminal facilities include dedicated handling zones for private and executive arrivals, with on-site customs clearance officers available to process private charter passengers efficiently. The airport’s location in south-western Saudi Arabia also positions it as a practical technical stop for certain trans-Arabian routing, adding operational value beyond the city it serves.
