Aircraft MRO / Line Maintenance installations at King Fahd International Airport (DMM)

تركيبات الصيانة والإصلاح والعمرة للطائرات في مطار الملك فهد الدولي

MRO covers the full maintenance hierarchy: line (daily, transit, A-check) at the apron, base maintenance (C-check and D-check) in hangars, engine shop visits, component repair and overhaul, painting and cabin reconfiguration. Providers hold multiple national approvals (EASA, FAA, GCAA, GACA, QCAA) and type ratings for Airbus, Boeing, Embraer and increasingly COMAC. Airlines either run captive MRO (Emirates Engineering, Qatar Airways Technical, Etihad Engineering) or outsource to third parties; the Gulf is pivoting to become a net exporter of MRO capacity.

Covering 776 square kilometres, DMM is the largest airport site in the world by land area — an absurdly oversized template that includes its own Aramco terminal and Royal pavilion. For years it punched below its weight; now it is catching up, with 13.2 million passengers in 2024 and a new masterplan announced in 2023 to lift capacity to 40 mppa. Riyadh Air and a buoyant Eastern Province economy are reshaping the traffic curve.
