Assiut Airport

Assiut Airport (ATZ), serving the city of Assiut (Asyut) in Upper Egypt, was established in the mid-20th century and operates from a single, compact terminal that handles domestic and occasional regional flights. As a regional gateway it is small but important for the surrounding Assiut Governorate, offering straightforward facilities and seasonal charter services alongside scheduled carriers like EgyptAir and several regional operators. The airport is a short drive from Assiut’s city center with taxis, minibuses and private cars as the main connections—public transport is limited but road access is easy. Fares and on-site prices are generally affordable compared with larger Egyptian airports, and while ATZ is not a major airline hub it remains a convenient, budget-friendly choice for travelers to Upper Egypt.
