King Khalid Airport Terminals 3 and 4 Metro StationKKIA-T34

King Khalid Airport Terminals 3 and 4 Metro Station serves the domestic and regional travel hub of KKIA - the part of the airport handling Saudi domestic routes and flights within the Gulf region. For passengers flying Saudia domestically or returning from a Gulf city, this station connects them to the Riyadh Metro Yellow Line and the wider city network within a short walk of the terminal exits.

The airport's vast footprint makes the inter-terminal metro connections genuinely useful. Rather than taking the airport shuttle between terminals, Yellow Line trains move quickly between all five terminal stations - making this a practical option even for passengers transferring between airlines at different terminals.

Station Overview

Terminals 3 and 4 Station opened in 2024 on the Yellow Line, in Zone 3 of the Riyadh Metro fare system. It sits between the Terminals 1 and 2 station and Terminal 5 station on the airport section of the Yellow Line. The station is at-grade and integrated with the terminal landside areas.

Lines and Connectivity

The Yellow Line connects this station in both directions along the airport: east toward Terminals 1 and 2, and west toward Terminal 5, PNU 2, PNU 1, and KAFD - where transfers to the Blue and Purple lines are available for the full metro network.

Station Layout and Structure

At-grade station with a single island platform. The platform is covered with a full-length canopy. Covered walkways lead to both terminal buildings. Signage is clear in Arabic and English. The layout is straightforward - arrivals and departures exit directly to the metro concourse level.

Facilities

ATMs, Darb card vending machines, toilets, shops, WiFi, and a staffed information point are available. The station is within the airport landside zone, so no security checks are needed to access it from arrivals. Passengers can purchase or top up Darb cards before the metro gates.

Accessibility

Full step-free access with lifts, ramps, wide gates for luggage, tactile guidance, audio announcements, and platform screen doors. The at-grade layout minimises the number of level changes required from terminal exit to metro platform.
