Dear DVA,
I am sorry but I was hesitant to write this post for so many years, it's about flights to and from Egypt's airport, I know Egypt is only one country out of more than 200 countries and territories on the planet, also I do not know what or how or the procedure of adding new flights or an airport to DVA lists, so I am totally clueless, but Egypt as a tourists destination with lots and lots of various attractions could be nice flight destination to many, the international airports listed at DVA are:
1- HECA, Cairo International Airport but most of the flights arrive and depart at night, also a fraction of real flights count I am sure.
2- HEBA, Borg Al Arab International Airport only one flight is listed as far as I remember.
3- HEAX, Alexandria Airport, two flights listed but the airport is not operational anymore as far as I know except for training purposes.
4- HESH, Sharm El Shiekh Airport, only two flights listed from Saudi Arabia!! and that's where tourists are coming mostly from Europe?
Now for other airports that receive huge traffic all year-long such as:
1- HEGN, Hurghada International Airport. (a Red Sea tourists destination)
2- HEMA, Marsa Alam International Airport. (a Red Sea tourists destination)
3- HEGO, El Gouna International Airport. (a Red Sea tourists destination)
3- HELX, Luxor InternationalAirport. (Historic city at Nile valley)
4- HEAS, Aswan International Airport. (Historic city at Nile valley)
5- HEBL, Abu Simble International Airport. (Tourists destination close to Aswan city)
6- HESC, St. Catherine Airport (Religious destination, mount Sinai, etc)
7- HEAL, AlAlamin International airport. (Where the famous WWII battle of Alamin took place)
Even there are two new airports that started operation in Cairo one of them is HESX Sphinx International Airport (west of Cairo) and the other is one is HECP The New Capitol International Airport (East of Cairo).
As I said I am only writing an email to wish that we could have more routes and more airports in Egypt, if it's possible, also if there's any way I can help I will be happy to.
Thank you
