The Ministry of Civil Aviation announced that, according to operating data shown by air traffic and tourism statistics in Egypt, Egyptian airports affiliated with the Egyptian Airports Company achieved an unprecedented leap in operating rates in 2025 compared with 2024, recording record growth in passenger traffic to reach 28 million passengers in 2025, against 22.9 million passengers in 2024, an increase of 22.3%, a clear indicator of rising travel and tourism traffic and regular operations at the various airports.
The number of flights in 2025 also reached about 209,800, compared with 173,800 flights in 2024, a growth rate of 20.7%, reflecting higher operating rates and the sustainability of highly efficient operational performance.

In this context, the civil aviation system continues to monitor operational performance at airports around the clock to ensure the highest levels of safety and security and to maintain the smooth flow of departures and arrivals and the speedy completion of procedures, especially during peak periods, helping to support operating efficiency and provide the best level of service to travelers.
