Flights to Rosetta
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Rosetta is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Alexandria International Airport (HBE), 86 km (53 mi) from the centre, whose 11,156-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alexandria International Airport | HBE | 86 km (53 mi) | 11,156 ft | 171 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,156 ft, HBE can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 171 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
