Kamal added “in spite of the hardships that the company faced during the last period, EGYPTAIR could overcome the furious competition and continued its fleet modernization plan in addition to performing its national role in serving the national economy”
From his side, Capt Ayman Nasr, EGYPTAIR AIRLINES Chairman & CEO, declared that “EGYPTAIR gives due importance to performing social responsibility towards the Egyptian people which comes from the faith that huge economic entities have national duty towards their societies. From this view, EGYPTAIR, for the second time, transported humanitarian aids aboard one of its newest aircraft, which were donated by the USA-based Egyptian-American Scientists and Engineers Association. A part of these donations was delivered on the 79th aircraft received in 11 February, 2012.”

Ayyad said “The national company, EGYPTAIR, has always been providing full support to the national efforts.” He added “this project was not to come to light except with the honest support of EGYPTAIR officials, especially, Eng Hussein Massoud who adopted this project while he was chairing EGYPTAIR HOLDING.”
