Airport guide

King Khalid Air Base (OEKM) is a medium airport in Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code OEKM or IATA code KMX. It sits in Asia.

King Khalid Air Base is a regional airport primarily serving general aviation, charter, and corporate flight departments.

King Khalid Air Base sits at 6,778 ft above sea level. Hot-and-high conditions can meaningfully reduce takeoff performance in summer — planners should factor density altitude into payload and fuel decisions.

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.
