Abstract

The article focuses on the introduction of international flight connections to Egypt's new administrative capital, which aims to alleviate congestion in historic Cairo. Air Cairo has launched scheduled flights from Capital International Airport to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, operating six times a week. This initiative is part of a larger megaproject that began in 2015, transforming a 700 square-kilometer area into a modern hub for government and business, featuring Africa's tallest tower and future transportation links to downtown Cairo and Giza. The flight service is intended to enhance access to the new capital and reduce pressure on Cairo International Airport. [Extracted from the article]
