The Ministry of Civil Aviation affirmed that Egyptian
airports are fully state-owned and under Egyptian sovereignty, noting that the
government is implementing a comprehensive strategy to enhance airport
efficiency and increase their capacity.
According to the Ministry, the Media Center explained that
the privatization program does not aim to sell assets. Instead, it provides
opportunities for partnership with the private sector in management, operation,
and development, thereby improving operational efficiency, attracting
additional investment, and maximizing economic returns in the aviation sector.
The statement added that the privatization program is part
of the state’s strategy to expand the private sector’s role in developing and
managing airports and improving service quality in line with the latest
international standards and technologies.
The program also aims to raise the level of services
provided to passengers and accommodate the growing increase in travel and
tourism.
