Military and general aviation airport serving Greater Cairo.

Location

6th of October, Egypt

October Airport, designated ICAO code HEOC, is located near the city of 6th of October in Giza Governorate, Egypt, on the western outskirts of the Greater Cairo metropolitan area. The airport primarily serves military aviation functions and general/private aviation operations rather than scheduled commercial passenger services. The 6th of October City is a planned satellite city developed in the Egyptian desert, and the airport reflects that region's infrastructure. It does not hold an IATA code, indicating it is not integrated into the international commercial airline ticketing system. Due to its predominantly military and general aviation role, public information about the airport's facilities, terminals, and operational details is limited. It should not be confused with Cairo International Airport, which handles the vast majority of Egypt's commercial air traffic.
