When Will Sphinx Airport Open?

Sphinx International Airport is already open and operating — it was announced in 2017, began trial and experimental flights in late 2018 and January 2019, and has expanded steadily since, with Air Cairo starting operations from an upgraded terminal in November 2022.

If you're seeing older articles asking when it "will" open, that's likely outdated content from before commercial service began — the airport has been handling scheduled domestic and international flights for several years now.

Around a dozen airlines currently serve the airport, including Wizz Air, easyJet, Air Arabia, flydubai, Jazeera Airways, Flynas, Pegasus Airlines, SalamAir, Air Cairo, Swiss and Edelweiss Air, connecting Giza to roughly two dozen destinations.

Whether you're flying in on an established route or a newer one, Sphinx Airport (the transfer company) books licensed, fixed-price ground transport to and from SPX across Egypt.

For the very latest schedule and route additions, your airline's own booking site will always be more current than any third-party summary, since new routes have been added steadily since the airport's launch.
