Minister of Civil Aviation Dr. Captain Sameh El Hefny stated that there have been notable positive developments in the security procedures applied to travelers at Cairo International Airport, praising the responsiveness and fruitful cooperation with the Ministry of Interior, which is improving the travel experience through Cairo Airport.
In a special meeting with aviation journalists, El Hefny announced that the security checkpoint that was located on Salah Salem Road before the airport gates has been removed, easing traffic flow and preventing travelers from being delayed for their flights due to car congestion at the checkpoint during peak times.
El Hefny added that the developments also included procedures inside the airport terminals, as the uniforms of screening personnel at the internal gates in the terminals have been changed to a unified uniform befitting Cairo Airport's status, replacing the military uniform of police personnel. In addition, the supplementary procedure in which a security officer re-checked the traveler's passport stamps after completing procedures at the passport counters has been abolished, making every step of the traveler's journey through the airport more flexible and easier.
