Civil aviation minister criticizes calls for Cairo airport strike

They have the right to protest and he has the right to criticize and stop the protesters. Of course, the protest is not in the interests of the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
Irrespective of the current trend which is opposing the Minister of Civil Aviation, any other minster in his position would act the same way. Some keywords for resolving those disputes might be dialogue, openness, genuineness, and improvements.
The real negative aspect of those protests is that protestors do not consider the hardship facing Egypt nowadays. The truth is that the country has to stabilize first before being able to answer those and other similar demands.

Domodedovo: Another Russian IPO kicks the bucket

All problems of Domodedovo have started after the deadly blast of the airport in January 2011. In their pursuit to check the security measures applicable at the airport, the official Russian investigators had a problem tracing the chain of command at the airport, and consequently the exact ownership of the airport.
It seems that the terrorist, who detonated the explosives, unintentionally detonated another explosive at the future of the current airport ownership and created a big question mark about the airport.
It is strongly believed that the Russian Prosecutor General's report issued end of April 2011 has a negative impact on the idea of making Domodedovo Airport available for investors through IPO.

EgyptAir battles to recapture market after revolution

What could be the meaning of “special offers and other juicy packages”?
When it comes to pricing, EgyptAir does not pay attention to various market forces. Understandably, EgyptAir has almost a monopoly in the Nigerian market as there are no other direct air operators between Egypt and Nigeria. However, its practice in other markets (like Russian Federation) proves my viewpoint.
Anyway, let us see the interaction of Mr. Mohamed Metwally’s statement and about 1,500 seats available on board of Egypt Air flights from Nigeria to Egypt.
