Egypt’s new administrative capital airport is undergoing a trial run.
The Egyptian government, through its Civil Aviation Ministry, has begun a one-month trial at the newly constructed international capital airport in the heart of the forthcoming New Administrative Capital.
Wael al-Nashar, Chairman of the Egyptian Company for Airports, said the new aviation hub will serve residents of East Cairo, Al Shorouk City, Heliopolis, as well as the cities and governorates along the Canal, as well as contribute to the development of the Suez and Ain Sokhna ports, where logistics and industrial zones will be established in the future.
The New Administrative Capital Airport is described in detail.
The New Administrative Capital Airport, whose main terminal building is situated on a 5,000-square-meter plot of ground with 45 service and administrative buildings around it, can accommodate 300 passengers per hour, reducing the pressure on Cairo International Airport.
The facility also features 8 airplane parking areas, each with enough space for 500 automobiles and 20 buses. The airport is well-designed, with a 3,650-meter runway that can accommodate large aircraft, and its layout provides for future extension for a considerably larger capacity, should it be necessary. Lighting and automatic landing systems are also installed on the runway.
In addition, unlike Cairo International Airport, the airport is equipped with cutting-edge airport security, administration, and operating technologies, as well as a 50-meter-high air-control tower and charter flights.
