## Description

Built in 2010 about 24 km outside the Upper Egyptian city of Sohag, Sohag International (HMB/HESG) mainly serves two markets: domestic links to Cairo and labour-migration routes to the Gulf states of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Despite the 'International' in its name, cargo activity is minimal and barely documented, with the infrastructure geared to passengers. There are no significant freighter services or cargo terminals here. Air freight from Upper Egypt is consolidated by forwarders through Cairo (CAI), roughly 470 km to the north. For the region HMB is a passenger-mobility reference point rather than a goods-handling site.
