About This Airport
Borj El Arab's dedicated freight terminal — about 2,000 m² with capacity for roughly 10,000 tonnes a year — gives Alexandria its own air-cargo facility. Located some 40 km southwest of the city next to the industrial town of Borg El Arab, the airport replaced the old in-town Nozha field, is now officially styled Alexandria International Airport, and handled more than 1.9 million passengers in 2024 against a post-expansion capacity of around four million. Most freight moves as belly cargo aboard the roughly eleven carriers serving the airport, among them EgyptAir, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Air Arabia and FlyDubai, linking Gulf, Turkish and North African markets; there is no regular freighter operation. Egyptian Customs clears shipments on site. The decisive advantage is proximity to the ports of Alexandria and El Dekheila, letting forwarders pair sea and air for time-critical textile and industrial goods. Egypt's Ministry of Civil Aviation has set out a development master plan running to 2027 for further infrastructure and capacity work. Heavier intercontinental loads are still consolidated through Cairo (CAI).
