Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister, stated that directives have been issued to work on quickly completing and permanently ending registration on paper cards for departure and arrival, noting that this comes as part of improving and speeding up the delivery of services to users of Egyptian airports, both departing and arriving.
This came in his speech during the Ministry of Civil Aviation's celebration of the first Airbus A350-900 aircraft joining the EgyptAir fleet, at Terminal (4) of Cairo International Airport.
Dr. Mostafa Madbouly stressed the need to commit to achieving the highest standards of management and operating efficiency at both EgyptAir and the airports companies, saying: "The state's role is to provide the necessary air fleet, develop new terminals and raise the efficiency of existing facilities, but true success lies in governing the management and operating system at the highest levels of global quality." He stressed that both companies must stand out with a sustained level of service that leaves a lasting positive impression compared with any other global companies.
The Prime Minister stressed the need for full punctuality across all scheduled flight times, as well as commitment to service delivery, and striving to achieve more targets in the shortest possible time in terms of completing procedures.
Madbouly pointed to regular follow-up with the Minister of Civil Aviation on this matter, adding that we are currently witnessing the operational trial phase of eliminating the paper card, whether for arrivals from abroad or travellers departing through Egyptian airports, leading to reliance on a digital system, as part of making things easier for travellers.
The Prime Minister stated that Egypt has an integrated plan to develop the civil aviation sector system, seeking to modernize and develop more services in this vital sector, also serving the tourism sector, which is one of the most important sources of national income for the Egyptian state in the coming period.
