History
The airport is named after Prince Abdulmohsen bin Abdulaziz, the second governor of Medina Province between 1965 and 1985.
A major expansion programme began in 2006, when a contract valued at SAR188 million was awarded to upgrade the airport’s facilities and construct a new passenger terminal. The General Authority of Civil Aviation opened the new terminal for traffic in November 2007.
The expanded airport was formally inaugurated by King Abdullah in July 2009. The upgrade introduced international-standard facilities, including two passenger airbridges—the first installed at a regional airport in Saudi Arabia.
International operations began on 24 December 2009, when AlMasria Universal Airlines launched flights to Cairo International Airport.
