Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport ELQOEGS

Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport, often shown as Gassim or Qassim Airport, serves Al-Qassim province around Buraydah and Unaizah. It is not a major hub and is not an alliance hub, though Saudia is a SkyTeam member and low-cost carriers such as flynas and flyadeal are important domestic operators. Expect a regional international airport: useful for point-to-point trips to central Saudi Arabia, with domestic links to Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam plus selected regional international services to the Gulf, Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan and similar markets. Connections are possible but this is not a banked transfer airport, so frequent flyers should treat it as a compact origin/destination field rather than a polished hub.
