An international flight carrying 176 people operated by Nesma Airlines arrived at the Sphinx International Airport on Monday from the Spanish capital Madrid.
International flights were operated at Sphinx Airport after development work concluded, which aimed at increasing the airport’s capacity to serve tourism in the pyramids and Giza areas and encourage one-day tourism. The Sphinx airport achieved remarkable success in short time, with great turnout from airlines and tourists due to its proximity to areas such as Giza, which includes some of the biggest monuments in Egypt.
The airport was inaugurated in January 2019, and saw a 15-day pilot operation for EgyptAir’s domestic flights. It received the first international flight from the Fly Jordan Company in January 2020.
