Cairo International Airport is the principal airport for Egypt. It's located just under 9.5
miles north-east of Cairo city centre, in Heliopolis. It's the second busiest airport in Africa.
It began life as the US-built Payne Airfield, during World War Two to serve the allied forces.
After American forces left the airfield, it was taken over by civilian authorities. In 1963
it became Cairo International Airport - CAI.
Today the airport is made up of three terminals and a departure hall dedicated to private
and executive flights. 55 airlines offer commercial passenger services to and from the
airport.
There are a number of ways to travel to and from the airport. A limousine service picks up
from the terminals, offering three different classes of travel including microbuses for up
to seven passengers.
A city bus service can be accessed from outside Terminal 1. These connect to transport
hubs such as Tahrir Square.
