Is Sphinx Airport Working?

Yes, Sphinx International Airport is fully operational — it opened to commercial flights in 2018 and has been running scheduled domestic and international routes since, most recently expanding with Air Cairo's move to an upgraded terminal in November 2022.

It currently handles around a dozen airlines and roughly two dozen destinations, spanning domestic connections within Egypt and international and charter routes from Europe and the Gulf.

If you've come across outdated information suggesting otherwise, it's likely from before the airport opened or from an early, pre-launch news article — current schedules are best confirmed directly with your airline.

Sphinx Airport (the transfer company) books licensed, fixed-price ground transport to and from the airport, tracking your flight number so any delay doesn't affect your pickup.

If you're planning a trip that connects through SPX to elsewhere in Egypt, it's worth checking your specific onward route with the airline as well, since not every domestic connection runs daily.
