Jeddah as a connecting point

Definitely, Jeddah is not a good connecting point between Cairo (CAI) and Johannesburg (JNB). Moreover, in case of using multiple tickets for connecting flights, there will be a risk of potential problems in case of late arrival of the delivering carrier.
Simply, two separate tickets mean two carriage contracts. On the other hand, the participating carriers shown on ONE ticket covering all flights from the origin (CAI) to the destination (JNB) will be responsible for any possible delay, misconnection, or layover.
What about flying with Kenya Airways through Nairobi, or with Ethiopian through Addis Ababa?

Egypt former presidential candidate referred to court

Referring Mr. Shafik and his entourage to the criminal court was quite anticipated. However, the timing of referring them is the issue. The allegations against Mr. Shafik emerged long time ago and they have been in circulation ever since.
Are we supposed to believe that the case has been politically motivated?

The real question mark is about Mr. Tawfik Assi who has just been appointed as the Chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company. Did the new Minister of Civil Aviation make his homework before appointing Mr. Assi in his current position on the 26th of September 2012?
