Register for MEED’s 14-day trial access 

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman International Airport Development Company (KSIADC) received prequalification statements on 1 July from contractors for two new packages at King Salman International airport (KSIA) in Riyadh.

These include the construction of a permanent East-West corridor and landside access roads serving the North and South terminals.

The scope covers the construction of roads, bridges and tunnels.

The client is expected to float the tenders soon.

The latest development follows KSIADC's selection of three groups to deliver the Terminal 6 apron, taxiways and other airfield infrastructure at KSIA.

KSIADC, which is backed by Saudi sovereign wealth vehicle the Public Investment Fund, will initially deliver the project on an early contractor involvement basis.

In March, MEED exclusively reported that KSIADC had selected three groups for the construction of Terminal 6.

In November last year, MEED reported that KSIADC was targeting mid-2026 to award the contract for the construction of Terminal 6.

MEED reported in May 2025 that US firm Bechtel Corporation had been appointed as the delivery partner for the terminals at KSIA.

According to local media reports, KSIADC’s acting CEO, Marco Mejia, said the project developer has completed the project’s masterplan.

The reports added that Terminal 6 will boost the airport’s capacity by 40 million passengers.

The project is expected to be delivered before the start of Expo 2030 Riyadh.
