Meanwhile, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister, and Dr. Sameh El-Hafny, Minister of Civil Aviation, and briefed the President on the position of developing the civil aviation system with all its components, whether at the level of air navigation, the aircraft fleet, and airports, or human cadres, where development is taking place. According to a clear and integrated strategy in this regard.
Al-Sisi directed to take the necessary measures to stimulate private sector participation in efforts to develop the aviation sector, and to continue intensive work at the level of all elements of the system, including Cairo International Airport, with the aim of doubling its capacity to reach a total of 60 million passengers annually instead of 30 million.
