Egypt positioned for strong aviation growth, IATA says
In the UK, Air Cargo Week reported that the International Air Transport Association (IATA) presented data showing Egypt’s strong aviation growth outlook and called for continued collaboration between government and industry to ensure that future growth is supported by cost-effective infrastructure, globally aligned regulation, and progress on sustainability.
IATA’s long-term passenger traffic outlook for Egypt shows in the mid-range scenario, that demand is forecast to grow by 3.4% annually from 2024 to 2050. This places Egypt above the global average growth rate (3.1%) over the long horizon.
In the high-range scenario, demand is forecast to grow by 3.8% annually.
“Egypt has a strong aviation growth potential that can underpin prosperity. The opportunity is clear: more connectivity, more jobs, more trade, and more tourism. Airlines are investing for growth, and the regulatory environment must keep pace. That means infrastructure that is efficient and cost-effective, regulation that follows global standards, and policies that keep aviation sustainable. IATA is working with the Government of Egypt and industry partners to ensure aviation can deliver its full economic and social value,” said Nick Careen, IATA’s Senior Vice President Operations, Safety and Security.
IATA also encouraged continued government-industry collaboration to create the right policy framework for sustainable aviation fuel development, one that supports investment, aligns with internationally recognized sustainability standards, and enables SAF to become commercially viable and scalable, according to the report.
