Asyut Airport

Asyut Airport serves Asyut, the largest city in Middle Egypt, and the surrounding governorate. It has a single 3,019-metre runway. Most of its traffic is Egyptians travelling to and from work in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Jordan, but it is also a practical gateway for visitors heading to the Middle Egypt monuments and Coptic sites around Asyut.

Airlines and routes

EgyptAir flies to Cairo. Air Cairo has the largest network, with routes to Saudi cities including Jeddah, Riyadh, Medina, Dammam, Abha and Tabuk, plus Kuwait City and Amman. flynas serves Jeddah and Riyadh, Jazeera Airways flies to Kuwait City, and Air Arabia has added seasonal flights from Abu Dhabi. Gulf routes are adjusted often, so confirm with the airline before you book.

Getting to town

Taxis are the usual way into central Asyut; agree the fare first. Asyut is also on the main Cairo–Aswan railway, so you can continue by train to Minya or south to Sohag and Luxor.

Facilities

The terminal is small, with basic services. It is busiest around the Hajj and Umrah seasons and Egyptian holidays, when queues at check-in can be long. Arrive early for international departures, and keep your passport handy for security checks on the way to the airport. Facilities for international visitors are limited, so it helps to have your onward transport arranged before you land.
