Cairo Airport Company has begun implementing a number of projects to upgrade Cairo International Airport, raise the level of service provided to passengers, and keep pace with the airport’s targeted increase in capacity.
Eng. Ahmed Fawzy, Chairman of Cairo Airport Company, stated that these projects include developing Terminal 1 to keep pace with the latest international standards and raise the level of service provided to passengers and airport visitors, along with studying the airport’s general site, in addition to updating an integrated baggage handling system that achieves the highest levels of security.
Fawzy added that, as Cairo Airport is close to reaching 75% of its current capacity, and in accordance with the instructions of the International Civil Aviation Organization, Cairo Airport Company has carried out the necessary studies to build Terminal 4 to reduce congestion in the airport’s three other terminals.
Fawzy noted that this comes within the strategic plans and expansion projects adopted by the Ministry of Civil Aviation and its affiliated companies to develop and modernize the infrastructure of a number of Egyptian airports, keep pace with global developments in airport projects and increase their capacity, especially Cairo International Airport, which is the first gateway to Egypt and the African continent.
