Flights to Giza
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Giza is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cairo International Airport (CAI), 21 km (13 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, 32 km), Capital International Airport (CCE, 61 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cairo International Airport | CAI | 21 km (13 mi) | 13,124 ft | 322 ft |
| Sphinx International Airport | SPX | 32 km (20 mi) | 11,975 ft | 510 ft |
| Capital International Airport (regional) | CCE | 61 km (38 mi) | 11,980 ft | 761 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 13,124 ft, CAI can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 322 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
