Changi Airports selected as preferred bidder for Saudi Arabia's King Fahd International Airport
Changi Airports International (CAI) is pleased to announce that it has been selected as the preferred bidder by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s General Administration of Civil Aviation (GACA) to manage and operate King Fahd International Airport (KFIA), in Damman. Negotiations are expected to be finalized over the next two months.

Mr. Chow Kok Fong, Chief Executive Officer of CAI says, "I am very pleased that we have emerged as the preferred bidder for the project as it would signify CAI’s second major airport management contract in the Middle East. The next step is to hold further discussions with GACA to finalize a contract that is at the best interests of both sides.”

KFIA is the gateway to the Eastern Province of KSA, the largest province by landmass and population in the Kingdom. It is the world’s largest airport in terms of airport land, covering 780 sq km, 10% bigger than the size of Singapore.
