New facility at Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport will allow faster customs clearance of goods into the Kingdom
Amsterdam, Dammam, 24 October 2013 – TNT Express and Saudi officials yesterday celebrated the first day of construction of the company’s future air and road hub at Dammam’s King Fahd International Airport (KFIA), Saudi Arabia.
