The Ministry of Civil Aviation affirmed that Egyptian airspace is operating normally and at full efficiency, and that air navigation at all Egyptian airports is regular and safe, in light of the current developments in the region and the temporary closure of the airspace of some neighboring countries.
It said maximum readiness has been declared at Cairo International Airport and all Egyptian airports in preparation to receive flights that may be diverted to Egyptian airports as a result of these regional changes, stressing full readiness in terms of operational, technical and human capabilities.
Full and direct coordination is also under way with all airlines operating at Egyptian airports to ensure the continued smooth flow of air traffic and provide the highest levels of service and safety.
The ministry explained that air traffic within Egyptian airspace and at all of the country's airports is regular, adding that the situation is being monitored around the clock through the ministry's central operations and crisis management rooms, in full coordination with all relevant state bodies and authorities.
Constant, ongoing coordination is also under way with all competent international bodies to follow developments until the closed airspaces are reopened, amid close and diligent monitoring of all regional and international developments in order to deal immediately and professionally with any emergencies.
