Egypt plans to build a fourth terminal at Cairo International Airport and has drawn interest from 68 global firms to manage its growing airport in the Red Sea resort city of Hurghada.

Speaking to legislators, Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El-Hefny said the new Terminal 4 will substantially increase Cairo airport’s capacity and transform it into a regional hub.

Regarding Hurghada, El-Hefny said contractors selected will handle the airport’s management and commercial activities, introducing e-gates and paperless travel systems.

EgyptAir, meanwhile, will implement a major expansion, adding 34 new aircraft to its fleet, El-Hefny said.
