no time? Blue News sums it up for you

  • The multi-billion-dollar project called NEOM, which consists of five urban subprojects, is the first major construction project for Saudi King Salman.
  • Even if the construction of the Line appears to be significantly behind schedule: the Saudis are not building castles in the air.
  • Because the giant infrastructure in the desert should also be available in the future, the Saudis are now planning to create the largest airport in the world.
  • Designed by architects Foster + Partners, the $1 billion project is scheduled to be completed by 2030.

Saudi Arabia focuses on large-scale projects. In addition to the futuristic city project The Line, a 170-kilometre-long smart city, the country is now also planning to build the world's largest airport.

The future King Salman International Airport is part of Saudi Arabia’s “Vision 2030” project, which aims to develop the country’s infrastructure.

Although it was recently announced that completion of the flagship project 'The Line' is well behind the original schedule, the mega airport is scheduled to open as early as 2030.
