KAIA - King Abdulaziz International Airport (IATA: JED , ICAO: OEJN) is an aviation facility located to the north of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Named after King Abdulaziz Al Saud, the airport is Saudi Arabia's third largest air facility.

Construction work of KAIA airport began in 1974, and was finalized in 1980. Finally, on May 31, 1981, the airport opened for service.

Because of Jeddah's closeness to Islam's holy city of Mecca/Makkah, the airport stands for one feature in particular :: the Hajj Terminal specially built to handle foreign pilgrims destined for Makkah to take part in the rituals associated with the annual Hajj. Many airlines from Muslim and non-Muslim countries have used the Hajj Terminal, providing the capacity needed to carry pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.
