Aircraft Interior Fit-Out installations at King Khalid International Airport (RUH)

تركيبات تجهيزات المقصورات الداخلية للطائرات في مطار الملك خالد الدولي

Aircraft interiors is a CMM-certified world of seats (economy to first-class suites), galley monuments, lavatories, overhead bins, sidewalls, carpets, curtains, mood lighting, IFEC hardware and cabin connectivity. Items must meet FAR 25.853 flammability, 16 g dynamic seat testing, and full airworthiness certification. Airlines buy at aircraft delivery (line-fit BFE) and again on mid-life retrofits every 6-8 years. This is a highly branded category — the seat a carrier picks defines the on-board experience that marketing is built around.

A sprawling 1980s-era masterplan set in desert pink sandstone, RUH was designed by HOK when Riyadh was still a secondary capital. Four decades later, the city has outgrown it. Terminals 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 now share the load as traffic hit 37.2 million in 2024, and new carrier Riyadh Air prepares to launch before the airport itself is eclipsed by King Salman International just across town.
