King Salman Air Base (Arabic: قاعدة الملك سلمان الجوية) (ICAO: OESN) is a Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) base located south of Riyadh. It is aimed at relocating RSAF operations from the old Riyadh Air Base to the new site, which was demolished between 2021 and 2022 for Saudi Vision 2030. The air base was officially inaugurated on 9 December, 2025, by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
