๐ช๐ฌ Alexandria, Egypt
Alexandria El Nouzha Airport (ALY) in Alexandria, Egypt, formerly served as a regional international airport. However, commercial traffic has largely moved to Borg El Arab Airport (HBE), rendering ALY with *limited or no current scheduled commercial services*. When operational for civilian flights, the airport operates from a single, compact terminal building that provides minimal facilities for passenger processing. Its layout is straightforward and integrated, featuring basic areas for check-in and security screening, leading directly to departure gates. All essential services, when available, are contained within this singular structure, meaning there are no complex inter-terminal connections or transfers. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically just a few minutes from entrance to aircraft.
Security procedures at ALY, if any commercial flights are operating, would adhere to national regulations for regional airports. Passengers can expect basic screening protocols. Given its very limited or non-existent commercial traffic, security wait times would be minimal. As a former international airport, it has basic immigration and customs facilities, but their operational status for current traffic needs to be verified. Travelers should be aware that the primary international airport for Alexandria is now HBE, and should verify which airport they are flying into/out of.
Amenities at Alexandria El Nouzha Airport are extremely limited due to its diminished operational role. There are no airline lounges, dedicated dining options beyond perhaps a very basic cafรฉ or vending machines, or retail shops. Any available provisions would be extremely limited. Passengers are strongly advised to make any necessary purchases or arrangements for food and drink prior to their arrival at the airport. Accessibility features are rudimentary, primarily consisting of ground-level access. Specialized assistance for passengers with reduced mobility would need to be coordinated in advance with any operating carriers or airport authorities. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are not commonly available. Travelers should plan accordingly for these minimal to non-existent on-site services.
Most traffic uses HBE; verify airport when booking.
Alexandria's El Nouzha Airport is close to city traffic; allow extra travel time from downtown, especially during rush hour.
