About Airport T5
Airport T5 is the first of the King Khalid International Airport stations on Line 4 (Yellow) as you travel out from the city, and it serves Terminal 5 specifically. It is an elevated station within the airport grounds at the far northern edge of Riyadh, and Line 4 — built as the network's airport line — is the only line calling here. The order matters if you are flying: a train coming up from Princess Nourah University stops at Airport T5 first, then carries on to Airport T3-4, and finally to Airport T1-2 at the end of the line. If your flight uses Terminal 5, this is your stop and there is no reason to stay on board. At SAR 4 (about $1.07) for a two-hour Regular class ticket, flat however far you have come, the ride from the middle of Riyadh to the terminal door is hard to beat on price.
It sits between PNU 2 and Airport T3-4 on Line 4.
It is an elevated station and runs to the network hours: 5:30 am to midnight Saturday to Thursday, and from 10:00 am on Friday. The SAR 4 two-hour ticket covers the metro and the buses. Below you will find the station on the map, journey times, interchanges and facilities.
