## Description

Around 62 departures a month, all of them domestic, define the rhythm of Abu Simbel Airport in Egypt's far south. EgyptAir and Air Cairo run the short hop to Aswan, while UM Air has added a Cairo link, making ABS essentially a tourism feeder for visitors to the Ramses II temples. The airport has no dedicated freight terminal, and what little cargo moves does so as belly load on passenger aircraft. Freight forwarders handling shipments from Upper Egypt route them through Cairo International (CAI), the country's only genuine air-cargo gateway with freighters, bonded warehousing and full customs clearance. For logistics professionals, ABS is best treated as a passenger point rather than a shipping origin.
