The cabinet’s media centre denied on Wednesday reports claiming that the government plans to sell EgyptAir company.
In a statement, the centre said it contacted the Ministry of Civil Aviation which dismissed the news as baseless.
The ministry stressed that EgyptAir will remain state-owned as it is one of the main state arms in the air transportation mechanism.
The ministry added that it plans to upgrade the company’s fleet and increasing its flights.
The centre called on social media users to verify the authenticity of the news circulated to avoid perplexing public opinion.
