The airport administration has set up a policy of silence and turned off the final call loudspeakers in an effort to recreate the usual environment without human sounds. The airport's administration decided to make the switch to a silent operation after researching and studying the best practices of other international airports across the world.
- A number of airports around the world have implemented this practice, according to a statement from the airport administration. These include Hong Kong International Airport, Zurich Airport, Dubai Airport, Amsterdam Airport, and London City Airport.
- The airport administration has announced that it would stop announcing flight details as passengers board the plane.
- Flight display panels will provide passengers with up-to-date, correct information, and boarding gates will display flight details before passengers can board. Travelers will be made aware of the silent airport idea through an awareness campaign that uses electronic notifications and multilingual information boards to explain and highlight that voice communications are not allowed at the airport.

In order to notify passengers of urgent information, such as flight cancellations or delays, or other emergencies, the management has announced that a voice call system will be established in the coming months.
- The airport administration is expressing its hope that the appropriate authorities will step up their efforts to implement this initiative. They also want travelers to know that the Abha Silent Airport is a real possibility, so they can stay prepared through the airline's communication channels and by watching the flight information screens. This will help them have a pleasant, stress-free trip, free from noise and unwanted interruptions.
- It is worth mentioning that airports that prioritize silence are those that reduce background noise in terminals, resulting in a more peaceful environment for travelers. See Also : Important conditions of Khurooj Nihai
Silent airports reserve announcements for true emergencies, such missing children or aircraft delays, rather than the mundane, traditional airports where announcements are made all the time.
Outside the designated gate areas, all announcements are strictly prohibited in the main waiting rooms. Because of the improvement in the travel experience brought about by the decrease in noise pollution, passengers are able to concentrate entirely on the important announcements.
