EgyptAir received yesterday 40 postgraduate students from the Sorbonne University in France who visited the administrative building of the national air carrier in an inspection tour that was organized for them in the cargo village at Cairo International Airport.
The students also attended an introductory symposium to learn about the activity of EgyptAir for air freight within a master’s thesis prepared by Sorbonne University students on international transport logistics through a case study of shipping activity in Egypt.
Amr Aboul-Enein, head of EgyptAir Holding Company, said that the company is proud of the Sorbonne students’ choice of Egypt in general and of EgyptAir in particular to get acquainted with its air cargo activity, as EgyptAir is a pioneer in this field.
Aboul-Enein added that EgyptAir has a wide network of airlines around the world in the field of air freight, whether transporting goods on the spaces available on passenger planes that reach 70 planes, or cargo planes, of which EgyptAir owns 3 Airbus A330-200 planes, the load of each plane is 60 tons.
He also said that there is an ambitious plan to increase the air freight fleet during the coming period to meet the increasing demand for air freight activity.
