## Description

Cement from Sinai quarries, marble and the peninsula's farm and fishing output are the goods Bardawil International (RDL) was built to serve when it reopened as an international airport in 2019. The EGP 860-million field at El Hassana lies about 90 km east of the Suez Canal and offers a 3,350-metre runway plus an apron for eight aircraft. Its terminal is sized for roughly 300 passengers an hour; no dedicated cargo terminal or on-site customs post is documented. The airport is primarily military, with civil charter use planned, and no scheduled freighter operation has taken hold. Regional exports therefore move by truck across the Suez Canal crossings to Cairo (CAI), Egypt's air cargo hub, or to Alexandria. Forwarders should treat RDL as a development-stage field with future rather than current cargo potential.
