Location

Alexandria, Egypt

Alexandria International Airport, known by the ICAO code HEAX and formerly associated with the IATA code HBE, serves the historic city of Alexandria, Egypt's second-largest city and major Mediterranean port. The airport handles both domestic and international traffic, connecting Alexandria to destinations across the Arab world and Europe. The airport has undergone periodic modernization efforts to expand its capacity and improve passenger facilities. It plays a complementary role to Cairo International Airport, serving travelers in the Nile Delta and northern Egypt region. Alexandria is also served by Borg El Arab Airport (HBE officially reassigned), which has increasingly handled more traffic in recent years, while HEAX continues to operate as the closer, older facility to the city center.

Terminals

The airport operates with a modest terminal layout suited to its regional traffic volumes, handling both domestic and international passengers.

Getting to & from
