Egyptian military air base in the Suez Canal Zone.

Location
Abu Suwayr, Egypt
Abu Suwayr Air Base is a military airfield located in the Ismailia Governorate of Egypt, situated in the Suez Canal Zone near the town of Abu Suwayr. It has historically served as a significant Egyptian Air Force installation in a strategically sensitive region. The base gained historical prominence during the Arab-Israeli conflicts, particularly during the 1967 Six-Day War and the 1973 Yom Kippur War, when it was used as an operational Egyptian Air Force facility. The Suez Canal Zone has long been of strategic military importance, and airfields in this region played key roles in Egypt's defensive and offensive operations. Abu Suwayr is designated as a military installation and does not serve commercial aviation. It has no passenger terminals, scheduled airline services, or public transport links associated with civilian air travel.
