King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) tracks 8 destinations, all international and all medium-haul except one: Dhaka, the sole long-haul entry at 5,231 km. Seven of the eight, everything except Kathmandu, carry a verified historical direct-service record, most with three or four airlines on file.
Saudi Arabian Airlines shows up as a verified carrier on six of Jeddah's seven confirmed routes, which fits Jeddah's role as a hub serving religious travel and diaspora routes across South Asia; Pakistan International Airlines, Air India and a handful of now-renamed carriers such as Nas Air, Shaheen Air and United Airways round out the historical record. Kathmandu is the one exception, with no verified record despite sitting in the middle of the distance range at 4,689 km, close to Colombo's 4,654 km, which is verified — a reminder that a missing record in a 2014-vintage dataset doesn't mean the route has never existed, just that it isn't confirmed here.
All 8 of Jeddah's tracked destinations are international, and 7 sit in the medium-haul band between 2,877 km (Karachi) and 4,689 km (Kathmandu), with only Dhaka extending into long-haul territory at 5,231 km. This is one of the more densely-verified route sets in the comparison group, with multiple carriers on file for most city pairs.
