The project includes construction of a passenger lounge to accommodate 190 people per hour, runway with a length of 3,050 meters and width of 60 meters, air control facilities and buildings for light systems and installation of firefighting and rescue services, generators, and air-conditioners.

The new airport is expected to boost tourism in the region especially after the selection of Madain Saleh as a World Heritage Site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
