All foreign airlines to operate at terminal 2, says EHCAAN chairman

The Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation (EHCAAN) is planning to move all foreign airlines to Cairo Airport Terminal 2, Chairman Mohamed Said Mahrous said, Al Mal reported. Mahrous confirmed that Russia’s Aeroflot has already set up its new offices at terminal 2, and is slated to start operations once a decision on the resumption of Russian flights to Egypt is taken. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will also operate from the new terminal, Mahrous said, despite the airline announcing that it will indefinitely suspend its flights to Cairo starting 8 January 2017. Saudi Airlines has also reportedly set up its offices in terminal 2. However, Mahrous noted that the complete move for all airlines will take place over phases. The new terminal is set to start trial operations today, starting with Jazeera Airways and Kuwait Airways.
