The Egyptian Airports Company said it is following up, in coordination with airlines and the relevant authorities, on the repercussions of the technical failure that hit the flight data processing systems of the UK's air navigation services, which led to the cancellation and delay of a number of flights at British airports.
The company said in a statement that some arriving and departing flights to and from Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh international airports were affected by the operational repercussions of the failure, which may lead to some temporary passenger congestion at the two airports.
Teams at the two airports are dealing with the situation and providing all necessary services and facilities to passengers, while making flight information and updates available in coordination with the airlines concerned.
The necessary measures are also being taken to care for passengers affected by cancelled flights, including coordinating with airlines to quickly provide hotel accommodation until schedules return to normal.
The Egyptian Airports Company affirmed that it will continue to monitor the situation and coordinate with all relevant parties, responding immediately to any developments to ensure the necessary services are provided to passengers and that traffic flows smoothly at the two airports.
