Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouli said that recent developments in the civil aviation sector reflect strong international confidence in Egypt’s air transport market and confirm the ability of EgyptAir to adopt the latest global technologies.
He made the remarks during a ceremony at Cairo International Airport marking the entry of the first Airbus A350-900 into EgyptAir’s fleet.
The event was attended by Civil Aviation Minister Sameh el Hefny, senior aviation officials, and representatives of international aviation companies.
For his part, Madbouli said that adding next-generation aircraft is part of a state plan to modernize the fleet, expand air connectivity, and support tourism and investment, in line with directives from President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Egypt Vision 2030.
The civil aviation minister stated that the new aircraft strengthens operational capacity and forms part of broader efforts to upgrade airport infrastructure and improve passenger services, reinforcing Egypt’s role as a regional aviation hub.
