Egyptian airports are currently experiencing a significant boom in growth and development across all levels, marked by historic financial performance and a dedicated push to enhance the overall traveler experience.
Financially, the Egyptian Airports Company (EAC) has achieved a qualitative leap in profitability, reporting post-tax financial profits of EGP 10.4 billion this year (2025).
This figure represents a massive 45 per cent increase compared to last year’s EGP 7.2 billion, demonstrating robust financial health.
This surge was especially pronounced at tourist attraction airports, which collectively saw an 18.5 per cent increase in passenger numbers. Looking at individual airports, El Alamein Airport led the growth chart with a staggering 479 per cent increase in activity, while other significant boosts were recorded at Sphinx Airport (467%), Marsa Matrouh Airport (148%), and major hubs like Sharm El Sheikh (35%), Luxor (37%), and Hurghada (32%).
EHCAAN’s vision is to increase the total capacity of Egyptian airports to 100 million passengers annually by 2030, up from the current 66.2 million passengers annually.
