## Description

Air Cairo, Nesma Airlines and Flynas operate the bulk of movements at Asyut International (ATZ), serving roughly sixteen destinations across the Gulf and the wider Middle East. Opened in 1974, the airport mainly handles pilgrimage and labour traffic between Upper Egypt and Saudi Arabia rather than scheduled freighters. No dedicated cargo terminal is in regular use here; airfreight from the Asyut governorate is trucked to Cairo (CAI), Egypt's principal air-cargo gateway. Forwarders should therefore treat ATZ as a passenger and feeder point and plan belly-hold or road-feeder solutions via Cairo for export consignments.
