Fraport AG has come to the end of its multi-year management contract at Cairo International Airport (CAI), where the Frankfurt-based airport company has provided ‘wide-ranging expertise’ over the past nine years.

 

 

Fraport was tasked with the optimisation of landside and airside operations, improving passenger services, providing customised training, implementing retail and real estate concepts. CAI also won a number of ASQ Awards in Africa during this period.

 

Along with ensuring overall smooth-running operations and opening of Terminal 3, Fraport says it specialists have been instrumental in transforming Cairo’s international airport into a major hub for the North Africa region – including national carrier Egypt Air, which has been a Star Alliance member since 2008.

 

Fraport AG’s chief financial officer Dr Matthias Zieschang said: “Our multi-year management contract with Cairo Airport Company (CAC) has been a win-win project for both Cairo International Airport as well as Fraport.

 

“Indeed, this project represents another success story in our international business portfolio.”

 

Along with regular training services for CAC staff, Fraport also filled three senior management positions in Cairo – Executive Director, Chief Operations Officer, and Chief Commercial Officer.
