Air transportation

• Shortage of cargo storage areas, and antiquated cold storage facilities (privately-owned) at Cairo Airport.
• Loading and unloading operators lack the needed experience.

• Allow foreign airliners operating in Egypt, and which serve international routes on regular basis to ship all types of Egyptian exports from all Egyptian international airports without any restrictions; accord foreign airliners the same treatment accorded to the national company and suspend the Tax Authority-imposed "Alj’ala" fees related to storage areas.
• Allow all foreign airliners flying through the Egyptian airspace to land in Egyptian international airports for loading Egyptian goods, and accord them the same treatment as the national company, including the payment of fees and charges. 
• Allow the use of charter cargo and passenger planes to carry all kinds of Egyptian exports from all Egyptian airports, without any restrictions, and accord them the same treatment accorded to the national company, whether in Egyptian airports or airspace.
• Introduce free and open competition into the air cargo sector (to and from Egypt)— Open Skies— to better serve the air transport industry. Under this policy, cargo can be shipped from all Egyptian airports on any airliner without any restrictions imposed on the operation of these flights; airliners should also be accorded the same treatment accorded to the national companies, without imposing any additional fees on their services.
• Establish a specific pricing scheme, with a set maximum price, for ground service, and oblige EgyptAir and other companies to abide byOpen the way for foreign companies and their agents to carry out ground services operations in all Egyptian airports without having to pay the Tax Authority-imposed "Alj’ala" fees or other administrative expenses to national companies; allow these companies to service their own planes, and provide this service to others.
• Allow transiting or chartered flights to carry Egyptian exports without the need to obtain the approval of EgyptAir.
• Expedite the acquisition of all cargo inspection equipment to satisfy security requirements in all airports; at the same time, allow all shipping companies and their agents to provide the needed equipment.
• Provide concessional loans to finance the purchase of transport planes.
• Grant tax exemptions to investors who purchase transport planes, even for a limited period of time.
• Allow airlines and transport services companies to establish warehouses and offices within airports.
• Expand cargo storage areas to facilitate the storing of exports while export procedures are being completed, or while they are awaiting space on planes.

• Although the designation of industrial land plots for each industry in industrial zones is made with the full knowledge of IDA, yet industries are required to pay exorbitant fees, millions of Egyptian pounds, fees, if they want to raise the height of the building (more than 15 meters). Additionally, they have to obtain a building permit from the Civil Aviation Authority, which requires a topographic survey (costs thousands of Egyptian pounds per factory). 

• Review the approval and fee requirements set by the Civil Aviation Authority.
