Egypt has officially unveiled its National Action Plan for the Civil Aviation Sector through 2028, submitted to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), marking a significant step towards aligning the country’s air transport development with global sustainability as reported by Sada El - Balad, news website and satellite television channel based in Giza.
The plan focuses on expanding airport capacity to 100 million passengers by 2030, growing EgyptAir’s fleet, modernizing infrastructure, developing green airports, and increasing private sector involvement to boost international connectivity, tourism, and economic growth.
The roadmap also includes improving efficiency and air navigation, advancing aircraft technologies and standards, introducing sustainable fuels, and increasing African routes for EgyptAir to meet projected traffic growth.
In total, 25 operational measures have been approved to reduce fuel consumption and emissions over the next three years, including descent operations and reducing the use of onshore power units.
