Abha International Airport Becomes Saudi Arabia’s First Silent Airport

Exceptions for Emergencies

Starting May 26, 2024, Abha International Airport (AHB) is the first airport in Saudi Arabia to adopt a silent airport policy. This change aims to make travel more peaceful and aligns with global standards seen in airports like Singapore Changi and Dubai International.

No More Loud Announcements

Travelers will no longer hear announcements for flight details, boarding, or other routine information. Instead, all important information will be displayed on flight information screens throughout the airport. This means a quieter environment for everyone.

Exceptions for Emergencies

While routine announcements are gone, the airport will still use voice calls for emergencies. This includes situations like flight delays, cancellations, or lost children. So, passengers can feel safe knowing that important alerts will still be communicated.

Information Campaign

To help passengers adjust to this new system, Abha International Airport will launch an awareness campaign. This will include multilingual signs and electronic notices to guide travelers on where to find the information they need.
