Flights to Khobar
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Khobar is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Bahrain International Airport (BAH), 43 km (27 mi) from the centre, whose 12,979-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are King Fahd International Airport (DMM, 46 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bahrain International Airport | BAH | 43 km (27 mi) | 12,979 ft | 6 ft |
| King Fahd International Airport | DMM | 46 km (29 mi) | 13,124 ft | 72 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,979 ft, BAH can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 6 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
