Where it sits

30.1°N, 31.4°E puts CAI in the northern hemisphere, 3,348 km from the equator and 6,659 km from the North pole.

What’s on this page, and what isn’t

Every figure here is computed from the airport’s coordinates and the rest of the table — distances, bearings, ranks, the antipode. Nothing is written by hand, so nothing on it is a half-remembered fact about a terminal that was rebuilt in 2019.

Which also means what you won’t find: no passenger figures, no terminal maps, no airline lists, no live departures. Orbit is a logbook, not a flight tracker, and a page that invented those would be worse than one that leaves them out.
