e Jubayl Naval Air Facility

e Jubayl Naval Air Facility, located near the city of Jubail on Saudi Arabia’s eastern coast, is a key installation supporting Royal Saudi Naval Forces (RSNF) maritime operations in the Persian Gulf. Constructed in the 1980s as part of Saudi Arabia’s modernization efforts, the facility was designed to provide logistical, maintenance, and operational support for naval aviation assets, including helicopters and patrol aircraft. During Operation Desert Storm in 1991, e Jubayl played a significant role as a staging and support base for coalition naval activities. Today, the facility continues to support joint and multinational exercises, contributing to regional maritime security and defense cooperation.
