About This Airport
Infrastructure decides what a site can do, and Bilbeis 2 Airfield near Bilbeis in Egypt's Sharqia governorate, roughly 55 kilometres north-east of Cairo, has none of what air freight requires: no cargo terminal, no ground handling agent, no customs office open to trade, and neither an IATA code nor a publicly used ICAO identifier. The field is in military use and is not available to shippers or forwarders. Manufacturers in the surrounding Nile Delta fringe - textiles and garments, food processing, and the plants of 10th of Ramadan City south-west of Bilbeis - therefore route their air cargo through Cairo International (CAI). Cairo Cargo City, opened there in 2016 on some 150,000 square metres directly on the airside and operated by the Cairo Airport Cargo Company, handles more than 40,000 tonnes a year, while EgyptAir Cargo runs freighters from Cairo to destinations across Africa, Europe and the Middle East. The desert highways towards Cairo and Ismailia put CAI within one to two hours by truck, so the road feeder leg is straightforward. For heavy or high-volume consignments the seaports of Port Said and Ain Sokhna in the Suez Canal Economic Zone are the natural alternatives.
