Sphinx International Airport SPX / HESX

Confirmed as Sphinx International Airport's ground handling partner on OnePort's own SPX article ("OnePort manages critical ground operations at Sphinx International Airport... handling aircraft marshalling, ramp coordination, fueling, and cargo management to ensure safe and timely turnarounds"); scope per OnePort's company services page covers marshalling, towing/pushback, baggage handling and passenger check-in/boarding/special-assistance/VIP handling.

Into-plane fuelling and de-fuelling agent at SPX ("OnePort provides into-plane fueling and de-fueling for all types of aircraft" per its own SPX article and services page, sourced from Egyptian refineries, ~500,000 tons/year company-wide with quality-assurance testing). Underlying fuel supplier is Misr Petroleum Company (see separate entry).

State-linked fuel major (~85% of the Egyptian jet-fuel market) supplying Jet A-1 via tanker trucks at SPX — no underground hydrant system yet — per a 2025 pilot-advisory operational review of the airport (OPSGROUP: "Jet A1 Fuel is available via Misr Petroleum Company tankers... no Hydrant System yet"); a separate Misr Petroleum revenue report (Amwal Al Ghad) also names refuelling facilities at "Cairo, Sharm El-Sheikh, and Sphinx airports" as a sales driver. Sphinx is not listed among the ~12 airports on the company's own aviation-services page, which appears not yet updated for this newer field. Into-plane delivery at SPX is carried out by ground handler OnePort Air Handling (see separate entry).

Coordinates in-flight catering for airline/charter clients through partner catering companies ("we partner with top-tier catering companies... menu customisation, continuous auditing of catering providers, and supervision of the entire catering process") rather than operating its own flight kitchen; the specific SPX-side catering partner is not named.

Cairo-based flight kitchen supplying business/private-jet catering (ISO-22000 certified, EGAC-accredited); independently confirmed to operate dual production facilities near Cairo International Airport and El Alamein International Airport, with no mention of Sphinx anywhere in its own materials, so treat SPX coverage as unconfirmed rather than assumed. Business Air News' handbook separately records exactly one (paywalled/unnamed) inflight-catering provider for SPX, consistent with a single Cairo-area kitchen such as this one serving the field, but the identity is not independently confirmed.

Aircraft interior/cabin and lavatory cleaning is a standard line on OnePort's company services page ("aircraft cleaning: ensuring that the cabin and restrooms are clean, hygienic, and well-stocked for the next flight"); not separately itemised on the SPX-specific article but falls within OnePort's documented role as SPX's sole ground handling partner, so treat the SPX-specific detail as unconfirmed beyond the company-wide description.

Operates the ramp GSE (tugs/pushback tractors, baggage and cargo loaders) used for marshalling and turnarounds in its capacity as SPX's ground handling partner; a 2025 pilot-advisory review of the airport (OPSGROUP) separately noted "a complete fleet of GSE... in place" alongside 8 parking stands, without naming an operator.

Handles cargo management/transfer as part of ramp turnaround at SPX per OnePort's own SPX article; company-wide cargo scope on its services page includes cargo transfer alongside marshalling and baggage handling.

Meet & Assist Services (MAAS) at SPX include immigration-clearance support and airport transfers per OnePort's own SPX article and services page ("pre-flight crew visa support, hotel accommodations, immigration clearance, airport transfers, and air ticket bookings").

Operates two Pearl Lounge CIP/VIP passenger-lounge facilities at Sphinx International Airport — Menzies' own SPX network page states "Menzies operates two lounges here" — consistent with Aviation Pros coverage of Menzies' Pearl Lounge network expansion across Egypt (eight Egyptian airports including SPX). The SPX page itemises only lounge operations, not ramp/ground-handling scope at this station, so any wider ground-handling role here is unconfirmed — treat OnePort Air Handling as the documented ramp/ground partner.

MAAS scope includes arranging crew/passenger hotel accommodations ("hotel accommodations" listed under Meet & Assist Services on OnePort's company services page) as a booking/coordination service rather than an owned property; this is trip-support brokerage, not a dedicated flight-kitchen or hotel operation.
