Red Sea International Airport in Saudi Arabia, designed by Foster + Partners, officially registered with IATA (RSI) and began operations in September 2023. Serving the mega-tourism zone “The Red Sea Project,” it aims to handle 1 million passengers/year by 2030 and support amphibious seaplane operations for eco-conscious travel.
