The Cabinet Media Center highlighted passenger traffic at airports operated by the Egyptian Airports Company since the start of 2026. The airports have delivered a strong performance, with air traffic remaining stable in March despite regional tensions and their impact on aviation.
According to a statement from the center, the airports handled 2.2 million passengers between 1 and 29 March 2026, a period that coincided with escalating regional tensions. This represents a 7.8% increase compared with the same period in 2025, reflecting Egyptian airports’ ability to maintain stable operations and uninterrupted travel amid the surrounding conditions.
The Egyptian Airports Company is a subsidiary of the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation, which falls under the Ministry of Civil Aviation. It oversees 22 airports in Egypt.
Passenger numbers in January and February 2026 totalled 4,646,578, compared with 4,032,846 during the same period in 2025, an increase of 15%, according to the Egyptian Cabinet’s official Facebook page.
