The Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) on June 25 inaugurated NEOM Bay Airport in the northern region of Sharma, the authority said in a statement.
GACA added that the airport has been licensed and the first phase of development work was completed.
“NEOM Bay Airport is ready to operate commercial flights starting next week,” the aviation authority said.
The statement added that the airport will also provide regular flights for investors and employees of the mega city project.
The airport was registered by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) earlier with the code “NUM”.
In October 2017, the $500 billion NEOM project was launched by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
NEOM is planned to be a business and industrial zone that also links with Jordan and Egypt.
