Flights to Aswān
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Aswān is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Aswan International Airport (ASW), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,161-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aswan International Airport | ASW | 17 km (11 mi) | 11,161 ft | 650 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,161 ft, ASW can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 650 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
