Location

Rafha, Saudi Arabia

Rafha Domestic Airport (IATA: RAH, ICAO: OERF) is a small domestic airport serving the city of Rafha, located in the northern Al-Hudud ash-Shamaliyah (Northern Borders) region of Saudi Arabia. The airport provides essential air connectivity for this remote area near the Iraqi border, linking residents and travelers to major Saudi cities. The airport is operated under the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) of Saudi Arabia. Given Rafha's relatively small population and isolated location, the airport handles limited passenger traffic primarily serving regional domestic routes. Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) has historically been the primary carrier operating scheduled services to and from Rafha, connecting it to hubs such as Riyadh. The airport plays an important logistical and social role for the surrounding communities given the vast distances involved in ground travel.

Terminals

The airport features a modest single terminal facility suited to its low passenger volumes.
