Minister of Civil Aviation Lt. Gen. Younis Al-Masry paid a surprise visit at dawn today to Hurghada International Airport to follow up on the progress of work and operations at the airport and to review its development works. He was accompanied on the inspection visit by Maj. Gen. Mohamed Kamal Amin, director of Hurghada Airport.
The minister's tour included the departure and arrival halls of Passenger Terminal 1, where he inspected security procedures, the regularity of operations and the smooth flow of traffic inside the airport, especially as Hurghada is witnessing heavy inbound tourist traffic during the summer holiday season, coinciding with the arrival of charter flights to Egypt's tourist attractions.
Al-Masry followed up on the latest developments and upgrade works at Passenger Terminal 2, which include raising the building's efficiency and increasing its capacity in preparation for its operation in the coming period.
Al-Masry praised the airport's management and all its staff for their discipline and commitment at work and for their honorable role in development and in raising the level of service offered to passengers, as well as in applying security procedures at all levels.
