Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El-Hefny said growing inbound tourism demand has attracted 137 charter airlines to Egyptian airports. He spoke yesterday at the ninety-fifth Civil Aviation Day celebration.
He said stronger demand helped expand Air Cairo’s fleet to 40 aircraft in 2024 from five in 2020. He added that national carrier EgyptAir’s main role is not tourist transport and that it accounts for a relatively small share of tourism arrivals.
