Eng. Mohamed Saeed Mahrous, chairman of the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation, said the site of the car park for the new Passenger Terminal 2 at Cairo International Airport was chosen after a thorough study of all available alternatives, adding that it has a capacity of 750 cars and that its location is the closest to the terminal. He noted that six buses have been provided to transport passengers and their luggage, running regularly at one bus every 15 minutes around the clock, free of charge.
Mahrous added that Terminal 2 already has a large garage beneath the building with a high capacity, but it is currently closed for security reasons.
For his part, Magdy Ishak, chairman of Cairo Airport Company, said a group of staff had been assigned to guide passengers to the correct routes to the garage, in addition to placing a number of signs directing them to it. He noted that the garage was opened at this time to coincide with the peak of the Umrah season and the return of Egyptians working abroad.
