Leaving Cairo
Cairo is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cairo International Airport (CAI), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 13,124-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Sphinx International Airport (SPX, 34 km), Capital International Airport (CCE, 57 km).
Arriving in Datun
Datun is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Jining Da'an Airport (JNG), 94 km (58 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,186 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jining Da'an Airport (regional) | JNG | 94 km (58 mi) | 9,186 ft | 171 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 7,798 km (4,846 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
