El-Hefny praised the cooperation and coordination with the Ministry of Interior and the various relevant bodies, which help simplify procedures and improve the flow of travel, explaining that the system is set to be rolled out gradually across Egyptian airports in the coming phase.
The Minister of Civil Aviation stressed that the coming phase will see further expansion of digital solutions and the integration of different systems, in coordination with the Ministry of Interior and the relevant bodies, boosting the efficiency of procedures and the levels of security and smooth flow inside airports, in line with the latest global trends in airport management and operation.
