Egypt’s Ministry of Civil Aviation has announced heightened operational readiness across all airports nationwide, following regional developments that have led to the closure of airspace in several neighbouring countries. Sameh El-Hefny, Minister of Civil Aviation, said he will keep monitoring flight operations around the clock through the central operations room of the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority. The ministry confirmed that Egyptian airspace remains fully operational and capable of accommodating any potential rerouting of flights, in full compliance with international civil aviation safety and security standards. The ministry said it is closely following developments and will issue further official statements as updates become available. Travellers have been advised to check with their respective airlines to confirm the status of their flights and any possible schedule changes in light of the ongoing regional events.
