CAIRO: Egyptian and Emirati officials met to discuss revitalizing bilateral air traffic links, Egypt’s Ministry of Civil Aviation said in a statement.
The meeting was held between Mohamed Manar, Egyptian minister of civil aviation; Hamad Saeed Al-Shamsi, UAE ambassador to Cairo and its permanent representative to the League of Arab States; and Saif Mohamed Al-Suwaidi, director general of the UAE’s General Civil Aviation Authority.
The Egyptian ministry said that the talks focused on the fallout from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and its repercussions for the aviation industry, as well as efforts to revitalize the sector as part of a wider bid to restart tourism between the two Arab countries.
Egypt is taking steps to upgrade tourism services at 30 key Egyptian museums and archaeological sites to help boost revenues.
