Al-Ahsa International Airport (Arabic: مطار الأحساء الدولي,) is an airport serving Hofuf (also known as Al-Ahsa or Al-Hasa), a city in Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia.
During Operation Desert Shield and the Gulf War in 1991, it served as an air base for the French Air Force.
General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA), which is Saudi Arabia's civil aviation regulator, formally approved the airport's international status in 2011. A GACA study predicted that the airport was expected to grow by 300,000 passengers per annum between 2015 and 2020. Around 300,000 expatriate workers live in the area.[2]
