Since Rio Azucar, which is located on a very small island, doesn’t have a land that it can assign for an airport, the airport is situated on a forestland connected to the mainland. For this reason, it is possible to reach the airport from the center by using marine vessels. However, Rio Azucar Airport isn’t a busy airport and doesn’t organize regular flights. It may not be possible to find a marine vessel offering frequent service. Passengers can reach the airport with their own means or with the help of the local people.
Rio Azucar is a town completely surrounded by tropical forests and nature is untouched apart from the airport runway extending over the coastline. Its settlement is close to the coastline. For this reason, the distance between the airport and center is short. However, the airport is located at a point which is independent of the town. The airport is rarely used. Therefore, the airport doesn’t even offer standard services such as bank, pharmacy or lost property office.
Al-Ahsa International Airport, which provides air transportation in Hofuf that is situated at a close location to Qatar, Bahrain, and Dubai in Saudi Arabia, is located 22 kilometers west of the city center. For transportation to the city center, the passengers can benefit from taxis as well as private cars offered by the car rental companies at the airport.
The taxis belonging to Saptco, the only company that has permission to carry passengers at Al-Ahsa International Airport, wait for the passengers at the exit of the terminal building all day long.
You can get to the city center in half an hour by renting a car from the companies like Avis, Europcar, Sixt, Thrifty, Holiday Autos, Budget, Economy, and EasyCar that provide service with a large fleet at the airport.
