The project of linking Building 2 at the Cairo Airport to the multi-purpose garage is being implemented at a cost of EGP 170 million ($10.8 million). The project will be completed and in operation by next June.
The project includes a 310-meter-long electric walker, a 60-meter bridge, and a 1,200-meter parking lot and commercial area. Thirty-five percent of the project has already been implemented.
The Ministry of Aviation inaugurated Al-Bardawil Airport in the Sinai Governorate, with the aim of serving development projects.
Deputy Minister of Aviation Montaser Manna confirmed that insurance rates have been raised inside local airports, as 22 devices for detecting explosives have been installed inside airports with the aim of increasing the insurance rates of tourist delegations that are received.
He pointed out that Sharm El-Sheikh Airport has received 1 million tourists since last July, despite the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
Manna said that the Ministry of Aviation has decided to extend the decision to reduce landing and takeoff fees by about 50 percent for another three months, with the aim of reviving the tourist flow during the coming period, as well as continuing to reduce ground service fees by about 20 percent for another three months.
