3 1. Country Profile 1.1. Historical Overview The regularity and richness of the annual Nile River flood, coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to the east and west, allowed for the development of one of the world's great civilizations A unified kingdom arose circa 3200 BC, and a series of dynasties ruled in Egypt for the next three millennia. The last native dynasty fell to the Persians in 341 B.C., who in turn were replaced by the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines It was the Arabs who introduced Islam and the Arabic language in the 7th century and who ruled for the next six centuries. A local military caste, the Mamluks took control about 1250 and continued to govern after the conquest of Egypt by the Ottoman Turks in 1517 Following the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, Egypt became an important world transportation hub, but also fell heavily into debt Ostensibly to protect its investments, Britain seized control of Egypt's government in 1882, but nominal allegiance to the Ottoman Empire continued until 1914 Partially independent from the UK in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty with the overthrow of the British-backed monarchy in 1952 The completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt A rapidly growing population (the largest in the Arab world), limited arable land, and dependence on the Nile all continue to overtax resources and stress society The government has struggled to meet the demands of Egypt's growing population through economic reform and massive investment in communications and physical infrastructure In 2011 there was a popular uprising that resulted in the long-term President Hosni Mubarak stepping down from power and the military accepted interim control until democratic elections could take place later in the year 1.2.

47 Cairo Airport Facilities Terminal 1 The terminal facilities include Departure Hall 1, International Hall 3, and Hall 4 for Private & Noncommercial Aircraft Services As part of the recent upgrading and facility improvement scheme, the CAA demolished the old hall 3, previously used for domestic arrivals and departures, to reconstruct a new hall to be used for international arrivals. Terminal 1 is locally known as the "Old Airport," although its facilities were recently given a complete overhaul and are newer than those of Terminal 2, which is still known as the "New Airport." Terminal 1 was originally used by Egypt Air and several Middle Eastern airlines however an increasing number of other foreign carriers, such as Air France and KLM transferred operations from Terminal 2 in 2006 In May 2009 Egypt Air moved all its operations to the new Terminal 3 (along with all Star Alliance airlines serving the airport) In March 2010, with the closure of Terminal 2 for major renovation works, all non-star Alliance airlines serving the airport shifted operations to the terminal. Departures and Arrivals are however with all airlines departing from Terminal 1 Hall 1, with the exception Saudi Arabian Airlines who are the sole tenant of Terminal 1 Hall 2 due to the size of their operations (SV accounted for 65% of Terminal 2's traffic in 2009) Most international airlines arrive in Hall 3. Arrival Hall 2 was recently reopened and serves international and domestic arrivals Hall 4 Terminal 1 - Hall 4 is dedicated to private and executive jet services. Even though it is referred to as a 'Hall' under Terminal 1 it is operated independently from the commercial passenger terminal. It has proven to be one of the most successful general aviation halls in the Middle East. Smart Aviation Company has been based at the building since 2007 however will move to a new executive FBO in 2010 located adjacent to Hall Terminal 2 (closed for renovations) Terminal 2 was inaugurated in 1986 with 7 boarding gates.[9] It primarily served European, Gulf and Far Eastern airlines. The terminal was closed in April 2010 for complete renovations which will start in 2011 and last 36 months The architecture of the terminal building limited the opportunities for further expansion which necessitated the entire building to be closed for major structural overhaul at an estimated cost of $400 million. In February 2010 the World Bank s Board of Executive Directors approved a loan amount of $280 million to support the Cairo Airport Development Project (CADP) to overhaul the terminal with national banks providing the rest. The upgrade shall include the complete modernisation of the 20 year old facility to reach the same level of service as the new Terminal 3. Once completed, the renovated terminal will be operated jointly with Terminal 3 as one integrated terminal, thus, reinforcing the role of Cairo International Airport as a regional hub. The renovated terminal is scheduled for reopening in 2014 and will double the capacity of T2 to around 7.5 million passengers and double the number of gates from 7 to 14 (and an additional 5 remote stands). Upon completion the terminal will raise the airports passenger capacity to 24 million. The terminal will include larger and more modern retail areas and will also include Airbus A380 gates. Upon completion in 2014 the passengers can expect a highly modern terminal offering international standard service levels and more passenger conveniences, including large retail areas and lounges Terminal 3 Given projected growth, and the limited ability to expand Terminal 2, the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation began construction of Terminal 3 in The terminal was officially inaugurated on Thursday 18 th December, 2008 and opened for commercial operations on 27 April 2009 Page 47 of 94

48 The facility is twice as large as the current two terminal buildings combined, with the capacity to handle 11 million passengers annually (6m international & 5m domestic) once the first phase is completed. It is located adjacent to Terminal 2, and the two terminals are initially connected by a bridge. Access roads have already been redesigned, and the parking lots relocated. With its hub at the airport Egypt Air's operations were overhauled with the full transfer of its operations (international and domestic) into the state of the art terminal between 27 April and 15 June The new terminal includes Two piers of extendable capacity and gates facilities serving domestic and international traffic, handled through contact and remote. The main building and the piers are connected by concourses. Two of the gates are equipped to handle the Airbus A380 aircraft. Provisions for a third pier are currently in the planning stages. Terminal 3 has 23 gates (2 gates for the A380), 6 check-in islands consisting of 110 check-in counters (plus 10 mobile counters & 10 CUSS kiosks), 76 emigration and immigration counters (plus 5 biometric gates), 52 contact & remote aircraft parking stands (5 with multiple use), 425 FIDS, 15 public information points, 7 baggage carousels, 63 elevators, 50 moving walkways and 51 escalators. Land side works including bridges and fly-over serving the traffic to and from the terminal building, surface car park areas (multi-story parking garage capable of holding more than 3,000 cars), a new access road connecting the airport with the Autostrad Road (Cairo Ring Road) and upgrading the access roads.
