Runways (1)
- 17/35 · 3,402 m / 11,161 ft · 45 m wide · Asphalt · ILS CAT I (RWY 35 end only; ILS/LOC/DME, 3.00 deg glidepath — RWY 17 non-precision); not independently re-confirmed against current AIP chart this pass
Airport contact
Egypt's southern tourism gateway for Abu Simbel, Nile cruises, and Nubian monument traffic; single runway 17/35 with instrument approach support (ILS/LOC/DME) only on the RWY 35 direction. Genuinely international (not just seasonal): the airport's own site names Etihad Airways (UAE) and Air India as scheduled international carriers, alongside EgyptAir/Air Cairo/Nile Air domestic-regional service, with passport control zones confirmed on-site. Pax figure (approx. 450,000) is a 2025 estimate carried per current tasking — third-party figures diverge sharply (CEIC snippet shows approx. 758,668 for 2022; the airport's own public site cites inconsistent numbers, from about 323,000 in 2023 to approximately 1.5 million current), so confirm against official EHCAAN/CAPMAS statistics before using for capacity planning. Elevation note: Wikipedia's own infobox carries an internal inconsistency (662 ft paired with 198 m, which do not convert to each other; correct conversion of 662 ft is 202 m) and OurAirports independently shows 650 ft/198 m — the 662 ft figure (AIP-standard unit) is retained here with its correct 202 m conversion, but the ~4 m cross-source discrepancy is worth knowing about.

Executive/business-aviation, passenger and cargo ground handling; CAPA's airport-specific Aswan Daraw Airport Profile (not just the company-level supplier profile) lists ZAS directly among the Ground/Cargo Handlers and Caterers servicing Aswan, corroborating the earlier company/Flock-sourced claim.

International Aviation Bureau (IAB)
Cairo-based (Zamalek) handling agent; CAPA's airport-specific Aswan Daraw Airport Profile lists International Aviation Bureau directly among the Ground/Cargo Handlers and Caterers servicing Aswan — stronger, station-level evidence than the company-level CAPA supplier profile originally cited, so status is upgraded accordingly. No independent company website or contact channel was located to corroborate current pricing/operations.

Misr Petroleum Company
Jet A-1 supplier at Aswan International Airport (ASW). BP's own reporting states Air BP has operated jointly with Misr Petroleum to serve Egyptian airports since 1978, and a 2013 Air BP/Misr Petroleum trade release names Aswan explicitly among the airports the pairing serves; Misr Petroleum's own aviation-services page separately claims fueling coverage at 'all main airports in Egypt.' Company-published station figures (on-site storage, bowser/dispenser counts) were not independently re-verified for Aswan specifically.

Air BP
Global aviation-fuel major; CAPA's airport-specific Aswan Daraw Airport Profile lists Air BP among the Fuel & Oil Suppliers servicing Aswan. BP's own group reporting states Air BP has operated jointly with Egypt's Misr Petroleum to serve Egyptian airports since 1978, and a 2013 Air BP/Misr Petroleum release names Aswan explicitly among the pairing's served airports, so Air BP's presence here likely runs through that long-standing partnership rather than as a fully separate standalone operation.

Pan-African aviation-fuel brand, listed as 'OiLibya Aviation (Libya Oil - Misr)' at Cairo per the Acukwik handler directory; CAPA's airport-specific Aswan Daraw Airport Profile names OiLibya Aviation among the Fuel & Oil Suppliers servicing Aswan, but no Aswan-specific station details or contact channel were located beyond that single directory listing.

EgyptAir Ground Services Company (EGAS)
CAPA's EGAS company-level supplier profile lists 'maintenance' among core group services alongside passenger/ramp handling and flight dispatch; the airport-specific Aswan profile does not itemise maintenance separately, so scope of transit-check/AOG line support specifically at Aswan is not independently documented.

Cairo-headquartered trip-support and ground-handling agent (founded 1976, Egypt's first licensed private ground handler). CAPA's airport-specific Aswan Daraw Airport Profile lists Nile Valley Aviation directly among the Ground/Cargo Handlers and Caterers servicing Aswan — stronger, station-level evidence than NIVA's general 'all Egyptian airports' marketing claim that the earlier unconfirmed rating relied on — so status is upgraded accordingly.

On request · 2 providers
Tiger Aviation Services (TAS)
TAS's service page lists crew-accommodation arrangement among its offerings; there is no on-airport hotel at Aswan (nearest lodging is in Aswan city, roughly 20-25 minutes away), so crew hotel booking is handled through agents such as TAS rather than an on-site property.
