Sharm El- Sheikh International Airport, Egypt
The Sharm El- Sheikh International Airport is an international air transport facility and the third-busiest airport in Egypt. It is located in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, and has two passenger terminals.
The first terminal, which was inaugurated in 2007, has a capacity of more than 5 million passengers, with 40 check-in counters. The terminal is designed to handle large international and chartered flights, while the second terminal is the original terminal building and has a capacity of 2.5 million people.
Last year, the Egyptian Airports Company agreed to expand the second terminal with the intention of increasing its capacity by an additional 2 million people a year. The facelift also includes the construction of a new runway and 40 new air sides.
