Why Different Websites Show Different King Khalid International Airport Codes
Two codes appear for the airport. The code 13458 is used by the Plaza Premium Lounge at Terminal 1, Viator, Expedia, the KSA Directory, and the terminal guides, all giving the same address: King Khalid International Airport, Airport Road, Riyadh 13458. That is the code to use.
The code 13463 appears on the airport's own Facebook profile, which lists the location as King Khalid International Airport, Riyadh 13463. It is a separate listing code, most likely for a different building or office inside the airport site. It is not the code used for the passenger terminals or the airport address on Airport Road.
Use 13458 for the airport. Use the table above for your terminal. Use the SPL map for your exact building.
Where Is King Khalid International Airport?
King Khalid International Airport sits about 35 km north of central Riyadh, in the 13 zone, at the end of Airport Road. It sits north of Al Malqa and An Nakheel, beyond the northern districts of the city. The code 13458 is the one used for the airport address on Airport Road.
The drive south from the airport passes the northern districts first, and the Al Sahafa postal code covers the homes and hotels in the district on the way toward central Riyadh.
The drive to Al Olaya takes 30 to 45 minutes in normal traffic, and the Riyadh Metro Yellow Line runs from the airport terminals to KAFD in about 30 minutes. The airport sits next to Al Malqa postal code to the south and An Nakheel postal code further south, and the city centre lies down Airport Road to the south.
Many people in Riyadh still give directions by landmark instead of a code. They say “the airport” or “Terminal 5” rather than 13458. That works for a taxi driver, because every driver knows the airport and its terminals. It does not work for a delivery or an official form, because a terminal name covers a whole building and the code points to the airport address. Give both together: “Terminal 1, King Khalid International Airport, 13458”.

Living in King Khalid International Airport
The airport is a travel zone, not a place where people live. Nobody has a home address inside the terminals, so this code appears on bookings, deliveries, and forms, not on home addresses. Travellers use it when they book a flight, send a parcel to a terminal, or fill in a form that asks where they are flying from.
Transport and Getting Around
The Yellow Line, Line 4 of the Riyadh Metro, runs from the airport to KAFD, with three stations at the airport: Terminals 1 and 2, Terminals 3 and 4, and Terminal 5. The ride to KAFD takes about 30 minutes. The KAFD postal code is the one to use for an office address in the financial district at the end of that ride. From KAFD, change to the Blue Line for Al Olaya postal code and central Riyadh. Taxis and ride hailing cars wait outside every terminal, and free shuttles run between the terminals, which are not walking distance apart. Airport Road runs south from the airport straight into the city.
