Khafji Airport (Arabic: مطار الخفجي) is a small airfield located southern the city of Khafji in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It occupies a small land area of approximately 0.45 km adjacent to the shore. The airstrip is owned by the national Saudi oil company Saudi Aramco, and used to be operated for local general aviation for company logistics. However, lately it seems to be not in use, making employees traveling from and to Khafji to use the Kuwait International Airport about 100 km north of the city in the nearby country of Kuwait. The ICAO designator of this field is OE45.

Facilities

The airfield has one runway of 1,742 metres (5,715 ft) and 21 metres (69 ft) in width, and an area of 3,600 square metres (39,000 sq ft) for aircraft movement and parking outside the runway. Helipads are available at the airfield. A small but covered parking lot is available at the entrance of the airfield.
