About Prince Sultan Air Base
Prince Sultan Air Base is a military airfield in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia, in the Riyadh Region. Built in 1951, it has long served as an important installation for military aviation rather than as a public commercial airport.
The base is located roughly 29 km east-southeast of central Al Kharj and about 110–120 km southeast of Riyadh. It features two parallel runways, each approximately 4,000 m long, supporting large military aircraft operations.
Because it is a military facility, access is restricted and it does not provide public passenger terminals or scheduled commercial flights. Civilian travelers in the region are primarily served by King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
For visitors and authorized personnel, road transport provides the main connection between the base area, Al Kharj and Riyadh, with private transfers, taxis and rental cars commonly used across the region.
