Cairo International Airport will allow travelers who had been blocked from entry to the US by the temporary ban ordered by Donald Trump last week to board flights bound to the US, after the ban was temporarily suspended on Friday by a US federal court, Al-Ahram Arabic news website reported.

A source at Cairo airport told an Al-Ahram reporter on Saturday that the airport’s authorities and airliners received a notification from the US’s Customs and Borders Protection (CBP) of a suspension of the executive order by Trump which temporarily banned citizens of seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US.

The seven countries are Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran.

Citizens of those seven countries who hold a valid US visa or green card will be allowed to travel to the US on direct or transit flights.

The source said that the notification was implemented directly by airline carriers operating in the airport, including Egypt’s flagship carrier EgyptAir, who informed their sales offices of the news instructions to allow citizens, initially affected by the Trump ban, to book flights on its trips.

On Friday, a Seattle federal judge put a temporary block on US President Donald Trump's week-old executive order that had temporarily barred refugees and nationals from seven countries from entering the United States.

Hours after the ruling, the US’s CBP told airlines they could board travelers who had been affected by the ban.

On Saturday, several airliners announced they will allow passengers affected by the Trump move to resume boarding of their US flights.

Gulf-based Qatar Airways said on Saturday it will allow passengers barred from the United States by the Trump order to resume boarding on US-bound flights.

Air France also announced on Saturday it had reopened flights to the initially affected passengers.
