HECA Cairo International Airport

for Microsoft Flight Simulator
MSFS 2024 Compatible

Welcome to Cairo, where ancient wonders meet modern aviation.

You’ve flown into the world’s busiest hubs — gleaming terminals, flawless taxiways, and pristine apron lines. But now it’s time for something with more character.

Cairo International Airport (HECA) is Egypt’s largest and busiest airport, now brought to life for Microsoft Flight Simulator with stunning detail and authentic atmosphere.

This isn’t just scenery — it’s a gateway into a city where thousands of years of history meet the rush of jet engines. From the bustling Terminal 3 to the charmingly weathered Terminal 1, every building has been carefully modeled and textured to reflect the true soul of HECA.

Expect a scenic approach over Cairo’s dense urban sprawl, with custom runway markings, detailed aprons, dynamic night lighting, and that signature mix of desert heat and aviation energy.

Whether you’re arriving from Dubai, Doha, Frankfurt — or just testing your ILS skills — Cairo will challenge and reward you with a truly immersive experience.

This is Cairo International like you’ve never seen it before — unless you’ve been there.

In which case… welcome back. We tidied up the apron!
