Sidi El Barrani Airport is a small airfield located near the town of Sidi El Barrani in the Matrouh Governorate of northwestern Egypt, situated close to the Libyan border along the Mediterranean coast. The airport carries the ICAO code HE40 and IATA code SQK, though it sees very limited scheduled commercial traffic and primarily serves military, government, and general aviation purposes. The surrounding region is historically significant as the site of major World War II battles between Allied and Axis forces during the North African Campaign. The airport's remote location and small size mean it lacks the infrastructure of larger Egyptian hubs such as Cairo International or Borg El Arab.
