Saudi Arabia is building one of the most ambitious airports the world has ever seen — King Salman International Airport, a $30 billion megaproject set to transform Riyadh into a global aviation hub. With six parallel runways, a city-sized terminal, and a target of 185 million passengers per year, this airport is bigger than Manhattan itself.

But with all the hype surrounding this futuristic airport, there’s one question no one is asking:
What if no one shows up?

This video takes you deep inside the bold vision behind King Salman Airport — the design, the numbers, the strategy — and uncovers why this glittering project might just be too big to succeed. From Saudi Arabia’s new airline Riyadh Air, to its competition with Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines, we explore whether the Kingdom’s aviation dreams are realistic or destined to become another “white elephant.”

We’ll also look at how this airport connects to other Saudi megaprojects like NEOM, Qiddiya City, and the Red Sea Project — and why their success is critical to this airport’s future.

🔍 Key Highlights:
• King Salman Airport vs Dubai International
• Riyadh Air’s multibillion-dollar fleet orders
• The Manhattan-sized layout by Foster + Partners
• Can Saudi Arabia outshine Qatar and the UAE?
• Vision 2030’s impact on global travel
