Cơ quan quản lý hàng không dân dụng Arabia đã mở sân bay quốc tế King Fahd Dammam với mục đích thương mại vào 28 tháng 11 năm 1999 và tất cả các hãnh hàng không từ sân bay Dhahran đều chuyển qua sân bay mới này. Sân bay này phục vụ cho toàn vùng phí đông của Saudi Arabia và vùng đô thị đang phát triển gồm Dammam, Dhahran, Al Khobar, Qatif, Ras Tanura. Sân bay này là điểm trung chuyển chính thứ 3 của Saudi Arabian Airlines và cũng như đối với hãng hàng không mới là Sama Airlines.
