Egyptian Airports Company

Egyptian Airports Company (EAC) is a state-owned enterprise responsible for the operation, management, and development of civil airports throughout Egypt, excluding Cairo International. As a central pillar of the national aviation infrastructure, the company manages ground handling coordination, terminal facilities, and runway maintenance. It functions as a primary interface between the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation and international carriers, ensuring that provincial and tourist hubs meet global safety and operational standards. The organisation oversees a significant portfolio of international and domestic gateways, including prominent sites such as Borg El Arab, Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, and Luxor. Its primary customers are commercial airlines, charter operators, and logistics firms servicing the North African and Mediterranean markets. EAC frequently collaborates with international engineering consultancies and construction firms for terminal expansions and navigational upgrades, often supported by sovereign funding or multilateral development bank loans. Prospective partners or contractors should verify specific regulatory compliance with the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) and ICAO Annex standards. It is essential to confirm the current status of master plans for specific regional airports, as development priorities are subject to national strategic shifts. Due diligence should also encompass local procurement laws and the specific operational requirements for high-traffic seasonal tourism hubs.
