RUH Airport Code: Riyadh Airport IATA & ICAO

King Khalid International Airport (RUH) is stored for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. ICAO OERK. Timezone Asia/Riyadh. This page does not list live flights, fares or terminals.

Overview

RUH is the IATA airport code stored in this dataset for King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (SA). The matching ICAO identifier is OERK. Travel agents see RUH on tickets, baggage tags, and GDS segment city pairs (six letters, for example RUHLHR when the other airport is London Heathrow). ICAO OERK is used in flight plans and ATC, not as the two-or-three-character GDS city-pair token. The IANA timezone recorded for local GDS times at this airport is Asia/Riyadh. This code page explains how RUH is used in PNR text. It is not a live departures board. Terminal maps, contact phone numbers, lounge lists, and published flight schedules are not available in this dataset and are not invented here. Nearby airports stored for Saudi Arabia: JED (Jeddah), DMM (Dammam). Related IATA city code in this dataset: RUH. To turn a booked PNR that contains RUH into a customer itinerary, paste the cryptic text into the PNR parser.

Example

Example GDS segment using this airport as origin: 2 AI 101 J 12OCT 1 RUHLHR HK1 0945 1510 12OCT E The parser should read RUH as departure. Times 0945/1510 are local as printed, not converted to your PC clock. If RUH is missing from the dataset, city and timezone enrichment stay empty rather than guessed.
