Distance & flight time from KMC
King Khaled Military City Airport
King Khaled Military City Airport serves the planned military settlement of the same name in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province, in the desert interior of the Ash Sharqiyah region. Its single asphalt runway is a substantial 12,005 feet long, sitting at an elevation of around 1,352 feet, reflecting the airport's role supporting a large purpose-built military complex rather than civilian holiday traffic. The surrounding landscape is open desert, typical of the region between the Gulf coast and the kingdom's central plateau. As a military facility, KMC is not a conventional passenger gateway, but the code still identifies the airfield within global aviation databases and among those tracking movements across Saudi Arabia's eastern desert.
