Sharm El Sheikh Airport Code

The IATA code for Sharm El Sheikh International Airport is SSH. Its ICAO code is HESH.

IATA codes like SSH are the three-letter identifiers used on boarding passes, baggage tags and booking platforms worldwide, so you'll see it whenever you search flights or check a luggage label. ICAO codes are the four-letter versions used mainly by air traffic control and pilots rather than passengers.

When you're searching for flights or comparing routes to Sharm El Sheikh, using the SSH code directly in a flight search tool is usually faster and more accurate than searching by city name, especially if the region is served by more than one airport.

Once you know which airport code your flight actually uses, the next thing worth locking down is ground transport on either end — Sphinx Airport runs fixed-price, licensed transfers to and from Sharm El Sheikh International Airport across Egypt.

Mixing up similarly named airports is a common mistake in Egypt, since several cities are served by more than one facility nearby — always match the airport code on your ticket against the one you expect before you finalise transfer or hotel bookings.
