Flights to Al Fayyum
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Al Fayyum is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Sphinx International Airport (SPX), 89 km (55 mi) from the centre, whose 11,975-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sphinx International Airport | SPX | 89 km (55 mi) | 11,975 ft | 510 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,975 ft, SPX can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 510 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
