EgyptAir announced the resumption of its scheduled flights to various cities in the Arab Gulf states, following the stabilization of the situation and the reopening of airspace in the region's countries after the tensions seen over the past hours, with air traffic gradually returning to normal since the early hours of this morning.
Dr. Sameh El-Hefny, Minister of Civil Aviation, directed that passengers be given maximum facilitation of procedures and that any congestion inside airports be prevented, while adding more flights to accommodate departures and arrivals.
Captain Ahmed Adel, Chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company, went to the Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC), where he chaired the crisis room to follow developments on the ground, in full coordination with Captain Mohamed Elyan, Chairman of EgyptAir Airlines, the Integrated Operations Control Center and the company's leaders across various sectors.
For his part, Captain Ahmed Adel confirmed that the company activated an exceptional operating plan that included running 14 scheduled flights since the early hours of this morning to the cities where flights had been suspended, while taking the necessary measures to ensure smooth operations and prevent passenger congestion, ensuring the comfort and safety of travelers.
Adel explained that EgyptAir increased capacity on some routes by deploying a number of wide-body aircraft to accommodate as many as possible of the passengers whose flights were affected by the suspension of operations in Gulf cities, noting that public relations, station and ground services teams stepped up their efforts to facilitate travel procedures, assist passengers at all stages of their journeys and provide them with all necessary support and facilities.
EgyptAir's Integrated Operations Control Center continues to monitor operations around the clock, in cooperation with the company's various sectors, to reschedule flights efficiently and accurately, ensuring regular operations without affecting the quality of service provided.
