About Port Said International Airport

Overview

Port Said International Airport serves the northeastern Egyptian coastal city of Port Said, located at the Mediterranean entrance of the Suez Canal. Situated at a low elevation of 10 ft MSL, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for this strategically important maritime region. As a medium-sized airport with a single runway, it supports regional and potentially international aviation operations.

Flying Conditions

Weather conditions at Port Said are predominantly excellent for flying, with 95.4% of observations reporting VFR conditions. Northerly winds dominate, averaging 7.5 knots with occasional gusts up to 24 knots. Temperature variations are moderate, ranging from 10°C to 33°C with an average of 21.6°C, creating generally stable atmospheric conditions for aircraft operations.

Notable Features

The airport's runway 10/28 spans 7,707 feet with an asphalt surface, oriented to maximize alignment with prevailing winds. Its geographical position near the Mediterranean coast suggests potential maritime atmospheric influences. The low elevation and coastal location may contribute to consistent visibility, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility.

Approach Considerations
