CAIRO – 19 January 2021: The Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation issued a statement Tuesday announcing that the number of Egyptian airports that received AHA health accreditation increased to five airports.

The AHA accreditation was launched for a safe travel amid the rising risk of infection with Coronavirus pandemic.
