The Egyptian Airports Company announced that Borg El Arab International Airport is scheduled to be renamed "Alexandria International Airport" next September, as this major facility moves into a new phase that reflects its advanced standing as a cultural and economic showcase for Egypt's northern gateway, and gives it a marketing advantage that strengthens its presence on the global aviation map.
Borg El Arab International Airport is a landmark step confirming that Egypt is placing itself among environmentally friendly countries by launching the first sustainable airport in Africa, with the new passenger terminal having started trial operations in January of this year.
The airport covers an area of 40,000 square meters and has a capacity of 6 million passengers a year. It features a modern architectural design that relies on solar energy, energy-efficient air-conditioning systems and integrated solutions to reduce carbon emissions, sending a clear message that sustainability is no longer an option but has become a reality that Egypt is embracing in its most important sectors.
This qualitative leap underscores how Alexandria International Airport (formerly Borg El Arab) is becoming an economic and tourism gateway capable of attracting investment and strengthening Egypt's position as a regional hub for sustainable aviation. In its new guise, Alexandria International Airport is a practical example of Egypt's ability to combine modern infrastructure, environmental protection and service to the national economy, according to the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Airports Company.
