With 3 long runways and an estimated 5.5 million passengers in 2011 (a 37 percent drop due to the political unrest in that year), Sharm el Sheikh International is the second-largest Airport in Egypt, and is served by regular national & international airlines, by low-cost airlines, and charter services.
