About Taba International Airport
Taba International Airport (TCP / HETB) was developed to support the rapid growth of Egypt’s Sinai tourism sector, particularly the upscale Taba Heights resort development that drew international investment from the late 1990s onwards. Operated under the Egyptian Airports Company and overseen by the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority, the airport handles everything from light turboprops to large cabin jets and narrow-body airliners on its single 3,200-metre runway. The terminal facilities include dedicated areas for private and charter arrivals, allowing passengers to clear Egyptian customs and immigration in a more discreet and efficient setting than at high-volume airports. Its Gulf of Aqaba coastal position, with views across to Jordan and Saudi Arabia, makes it one of the most scenically distinctive arrival airports in the entire Middle East and North Africa region.
