Hurghada International Airport is an international airport near the tourist center of Hurghada in Egypt . It serves as the hub of Egypt Air .
Terminals and flight operations
The airport has two terminals. Terminal 1 is the new terminal for all German airlines such as Condor and Tuifly. Terminal 2 is the old terminal that is only used for domestic flights and destinations in Russia. Terminal 1 was built in a modern design and provided with a glass facade.
Due to the many tourist locations in the area, the airport is mainly served by charter airlines but also by scheduled airlines from Europe. There are national connections to Cairo and other Egyptian destinations through scheduled flights of Egyptair or its regional subsidiary , which mainly fly with the Embraer 190 . The most important German airlines include Condor and Tuifly , although many non-German charter airlines from Germany also fly to the airport. Airlines from Russia and the GU states have a very strong presence . Similar to Turkey, this is mainly due to the easier visa regulations for Russian guests compared to destinations in the rest of the Mediterranean region. For example, Hurghada is served by Red Wings Airlines , which rely on the Tupolev Tu-204 from various cities in Russia .
The busiest days are Monday and Thursday. Hurghada Airport has space for up to 40 aircraft on the apron .
