El Nozha Egyptian Airport or Alexandria International Egyptian Airport (Arabic: مطار الاسكندرية الدولي المصري) (IATA: ALY, ICAO: HEAX) was an international airport of Alexandria, Egypt, 7 km (4.3 mi) southeast of the city center. In 2022, the airport served 1,142,412 passengers (−1.8% vs. 2021). The airport was shut down for major renovations in 2024, making Alexandria the only city without any functional airport. The government subsequently announced that the airport will no longer reopen.[citation needed]
