King Abdulaziz Air Base

King Abdulaziz Air Base (OEDR) is a large airport in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code OEDR or IATA code DHA. It sits in Asia.

King Abdulaziz Air Base is a large airport handling general aviation, corporate, and charter traffic. The long runway and full instrument infrastructure typically support unrestricted ops for heavy and ultra-long-range jets.

King Abdulaziz Air Base sits near sea level at 84 ft.

Local operations run on Asia/Riyadh. Without scheduled airline traffic, the field tends to be quieter and more flexible for charter and corporate operations — a useful characteristic for early morning, late night, or short-notice flights that would be impractical at a hub.

SkyAccess inventory for OEDR updates continuously as operators publish new empty legs and one-way repositioning trips. Pricing on each leg is available with a free account, and an inventory alert will email you the moment a leg appears on the route you care about.

As one of the larger fields in Saudi Arabia, OEDR tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

King Abdulaziz Air Base, also known as Dhahran Air Base and formerly Dhahran International Airport, Dhahran Airport and Dhahran Airfield, is a Royal Saudi Air Force base located in Dhahran in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Located west of Thuqbah and 7 km (4 mi) southeast of the Saudi Aramco Dhahran Camp, the airbase was the first Saudi Arabian airport to be constructed, in 1961, and is under the command of Air vice-marshal Prince Turki bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.
