The Egyptian government has firmly denied rumors circulating on social media about plans to sell Egyptian airports to foreign entities. In a statement issued today, the media center of the Egyptian Cabinet clarified that it had contacted the Ministry of Civil Aviation, which refuted these claims.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation emphasized that Egyptian airports are entirely state-owned and remain under Egyptian sovereignty. The government is implementing a comprehensive strategy focused on enhancing the efficiency of airports and increasing their capacity.
The ministry detailed ongoing infrastructure development projects aimed at upgrading airport facilities, improving security systems, and modernizing all security equipment across Egyptian airports. Additionally, there are efforts to expand the network of routes by opening new markets and supporting the growth of low-cost aviation.
