Safwat Moslem, chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company, said that during its celebration seeing off the first flights of the Hajj season, the company presented cash vouchers worth two free Hajj tickets to two pilgrims who have reached 85 years of age, as part of the company's celebrations this year marking 85 years since its founding in 1932.
Minister of Civil Aviation Sherif Fathy handed over the two free tickets to Hajja Wafdeya Youssef El-Tanahy and Hajja Hamida Abdel Meguid Abu El-Enein, both lottery pilgrims from Dakahlia governorate, who will recover their value after returning from the Hajj trip.
Continuing this annual tradition when seeing off the first Hajj groups, 50% of the Hajj ticket value was refunded to three pilgrims who won a public draw, and 10 free extra-baggage coupons for one 23 kg piece were offered as a gift from EgyptAir for use on the return leg.
Meanwhile, EgyptAir Duty Free presented souvenirs to the pilgrims from its branch at the seasonal flights building at Cairo airport in appreciation of them.
