The country will spend 2 billion pounds, or Dh1.38 billion, for the reconstruction of terminal 2 at Cairo International Airport, and will invest 4.3 billion pounds on three new airports in the country.
“With a combine passenger traffic handling capacity of 10 million these new airports are Burg El Arab Airport, Hurgada Airport and Asyout Airport, Ihsan Sadik from Cairo Airport Company, part of the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation, told Khaleej Times.
Burg El Arab will be ready in one year, while others will take two to three years to start operations, he added.
The biggest airport in Egypt, opened its Terminal 3 on April 27, 2009, with an annual capacity of 11 million passengers. After the opening of the new terminal, Cairo Airport handles 24 million passengers per annum. Located at the crossroads of Africa, the Middle East, Europe and the Gulf, Cairo International Airport is poised to become the gateway to Africa and the Middle East and a regional hub for millions of visitors to Egypt. “Egypt is launching a new cargo city project this year so we are anticipating a new runway, air traffic control tower and people mover, among other big-ticket components,” said Sadik. The Automated People Mover will integrate into the airport’s infrastructure and ensure smooth and seamless passenger flow and reduce walking distances for passengers.
Sadik said that the people mover would connect all the three terminals at the airport and the new cargo city would be completed in two years time. In addition, there are also plans to build a multi-storey car park, which once completed, will house 3,000 cars, he added. “The Airport Show in Dubai is the largest of the global events for Egyptian airport procurement,” Sadik said adding: “Like many of the buyers at the show, the company, is prioritising security and safety, IT systems, infrastructure and cargo solutions on its Dh5.1 billion shopping list.”
Last year in May, Sharm El Sheikh Airport started operations with a capacity of 4,300 passengers per hour.
