EgyptAir announced the temporary suspension of flights to the entire Gulf region, with the exception of Jeddah, Medina, and Qassim in Saudi Arabia, as a precautionary measure due to regional developments.
The Chairman of the EgyptAir Holding Company, Ahmed Adel, stated the company has opened an emergency room in its operations center and is monitoring the situation on a moment-to-moment basis, given the rapidly changing situation.
Adel emphasized that the suspension is, “Temporary pending a comprehensive reassessment of the situation, which will take place hourly until the situation stabilizes, after which flights will resume.”
During a Monday telephone interview with TV host Lamis al-Hadidi on the“Last Word” (Kalema Akhera), Adel said: “We have raised the state of readiness within the company and even at our international stations to the highest level.”
Regarding the number of canceled flights, he said, “Flights to Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Bahrain, Dammam, and Riyadh have been canceled, in addition to flights already in the air that were returned to Cairo Airport, such as flights to Dammam, Riyadh, and Mumbai, because they fly over Gulf airspace.”
The American website Axios reported, citing a senior White House official, that US President Donald Trump’s current goal is to end the war, and he intends to say so to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The White House official explained, “We want a deal, we don’t want more war.”
