History

The airport was officially inaugurated by former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on 25 May 2010. The project cost an estimated US$80 million, with construction beginning in January 2009 to include a passenger terminal, control tower, aprons, a runway, and 33 buildings allocated for various airport services. The airport was originally known as Mubarak International Airport, but following the ousting of Mubarak in 2011 and a subsequent court verdict ordering removal of Mubarak's name from all establishments in Egypt, the airport was renamed Sohag International Airport.
