Abha International Airport has become the first silent airport in Saudi Arabia; no more announcements of take-off, passenger boarding, last call

The first airport in Saudi Arabia to operate silently is Abha International Airport. The decision to make the airport silent was made public by the airport authority on Thursday. There won't be any more notifications regarding takeoff, passenger boarding, passenger final call, or anything similar. 

To improve the usual atmosphere devoid of speech sounds, the airport administration has closed the last call loudspeakers and unlocked the door of silence. Based on adhering to the finest international principles used by numerous international airports worldwide, the administration made the choice to turn the airport silent.

This practice has been implemented in a number of airports worldwide, including Singapore Changi International Airport, Zurich International Airport, Dubai International Airport, Amsterdam International Airport, and London City International Airport, according to a statement from the airport administration. 

According to the airport administration, it will stop announcing flight information while passengers are being boarded. In addition to projecting flight information on boarding gates prior to opening the gate for passenger boarding, flight display displays will furnish the passengers with pertinent and precise information. The idea of a quiet airport will be promoted through an awareness campaign that will use electronic notifications and bilingual information boards to tell travelers that voice communications are not permitted at the airport.
