๐ข Terminal Information
Al Qaisumah/Hafr Al-Batin Airport (AQI) serves the city of Hafar Al-Batin and the town of Al Qaisumah in Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province. While historically a domestic hub, the airport has expanded its operations to include limited international service, particularly to regional destinations like Cairo. The terminal building is a modern, single-level facility designed to efficiently process passengers. The layout is compact and easy to navigate, with clearly marked zones for domestic and international departures. Check-in counters are located immediately upon entry, leading to security and passport control areas.\n\nSecurity and immigration procedures adhere to the rigorous standards set by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA). Passengers should expect thorough screening, with separate lines often available for families or women. For international flights, passport control (Jawazat) is mandatory, and travelers should ensure their visas and documentation are in order, as this is a fully functional border crossing despite the airport's smaller size. Boarding is typically conducted via bus or a short walk across the apron, as the terminal does not utilize jet bridges.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are designed to meet essential needs. There are prayer rooms available for both men and women, reflecting the local culture. Passengers can find small cafรฉs and kiosks serving coffee, tea, and light snacks, as well as seating areas in the departure lounge. Car rental agencies are present in the arrivals area, providing transport links to Hafar Al-Batin. While the airport lacks the luxury lounges of major hubs like Riyadh or Jeddah, it offers a clean and functional environment for transit.
