The board of the Investment Zone, headed by Engineer Ayman Arab, chairman of the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation, held a strategic meeting to explore ways to fully utilise the land surrounding Cairo International Airport. The objective is to enhance the company’s financial position and contribute to the state’s vision of activating diverse investment opportunities.
The meeting was attended by key figures including Magdy Ishak, chairman of Cairo Airport Company, and the legal advisor of the Investment Authority. Discussions centered on implementing strategies to optimise the use of the airport’s surrounding land to generate additional revenue for the Holding Company.
In a message directed to employees, Arab commended the dedication and hard work of staff across the company and its subsidiaries. He emphasised the importance of teamwork, urging employees to continue their efforts in maintaining and improving Egypt’s airports. He highlighted that the sector depends on the collective contribution of everyone to ensure the ongoing development and modernisation of airport facilities and services.
Arab further stressed that Egypt’s airports must solidify their standing on the regional and continental aviation map. “The sector requires even more effort and commitment, as we strive to place Egyptian airports in a better position on the air traffic map both regionally and internationally,” he said.
Arab underscored the importance of open communication between employees and senior management to overcome challenges and strengthen collaboration. He encouraged staff to share their views and feedback through designated email channels, which would allow management to address any obstacles and implement effective solutions.
“We believe in the value of human resources at all levels and in the need for constant interaction between staff and management,” Arab said, adding that this would contribute to the company’s short- and long-term planning.
Drawing from his international experience in airport operations, Arab pointed out that the human element remains the most significant asset of Egypt’s airports.
