In a statement, the ministry confirmed that operations at Cairo International Airport have returned to normal and that the whole operating system has been restored across all terminals after implementing alternative solutions.
Additionally, airport operation teams continue to perform their duties efficiently to ensure the continuity of operations and closely monitor all technical and operational systems.
They are also working to ensure the delivery of top-quality services to travellers in accordance with the highest standards of safety and quality, the ministry said.
On Monday, a major fire broke out at the Ramses Telephone Exchange in downtown Cairo, resulting in four deaths and over 20 injuries.
The blaze, fully contained late on Monday, has caused disruptions to communications, internet networks, and other services across the capital.
Earlier on Tuesday, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat said all telecommunication services will be gradually resumed within 24 hours.
He dismissed claims that Egypt relies on a single telephone exchange, confirming that although Ramses Telephone Exchange will remain out of service for several days, service restoration is underway through alternative exchanges.
Talaat affirmed that all critical services — such as emergency numbers, the bread distribution system, airports, ports, and essential utilities — are operating normally in most governorates.
According to Talaat, only a few areas have witnessed temporary service disruptions, which are being addressed this morning.
He stressed that the situation is being monitored and directed officials to swiftly complete all repair and restoration work.
The minister also instructed officials to make a list of affected users so that they can be compensated.
