Abha International Airport (Arabic: مطار أبها الدولي, IATA: AHB[3], ICAO: OEAB) is an airport in Abha, the capital of 'Asir Province in Saudi Arabia.

The airport has services to several domestic airports within the Kingdom. It also offers international flights to Aden and Sanaa in Yemen, Cairo in Egypt, Doha in Qatar, and nonstop flights to Dubai and Sharjah in the UAE.

The site was a new construction area between the cities of Khamis Mushait and Abha, and served both equally. Construction of the airport started in mid-1975 by Laing Wimpey Alireza. Earlier, domestic flights had been handled at the military airport near Khamis Mushait. The airport became operational in 1977.[4] The construction was carried out by Bin Trif Airport ltd.[citation needed]

Facilities

The airport resides at an elevation of 6,858 feet (2,090 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 13/31 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,350 by 45 metres (10,991 ft × 148 ft).[1]

Houthi attacks

The airport has been frequently targeted in missile or drone attacks by Houthi forces during the Yemeni civil war.

It was initially attacked by the Yemeni Houthi movement on 12 June 2019, injuring 26 people.[15]

On 23 June 2019, the Houthis launched another attack on the airport, leaving a Syrian national dead and 21 injured.[16]

The airport was attacked again by missiles on 2 July 2019, leaving nine injured.[17]

Another attack against the airport by Houthi forces occurred on 31 August 2020, when a bomb-laden drone was detected flying to it and intercepted, along with a remotely controlled boat off the Red Sea, which was also filled with explosives and ready for an attack.[18]

On 10 February 2021, Houthis used four drones to carry out a drone strike on the airport, damaging a civilian aircraft (a Flyadeal Airbus A320)[19] and starting a fire. A Houthi spokesman said the attack was in response to coalition airstrikes and other actions in Yemen.[20]

On 31 August 2021, the airport was again attacked by Houthi drones, leaving 8 wounded.[21]
