Egypt delays decision on closing airport terminal at night

Ahram Online , Friday 24 May 2013

Cairo International Airport's Terminal 3 will not be closed at night, plan is still under consideration to save energy, says chief of Egyptian Holding Company for Airports

Magdy Abdel-Hady, Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation chief, announced on Friday the cancellation of a proposal to partially close at night Terminal 3 in Cairo International Airport.

The proposal was scheduled to be implemented as of June 2013.

In a statement to the media, Abdel-Hady said the plan will not be executed next month but is still being considered. He also explained that it will not be implemented except after taking passenger, airline, and airport considerations.

"The idea of the proposal was to give people living near the airport a break as well the workers and, at the same time, save energy. It has already been implemented in several airports around the world," Abdel-Hady concluded.
