Follow on Google News | Egypt crisis update from ACSLeading aviation specialist Air Charter Service has already booked or flown charters carrying more than 1,000 foreign nationals out of Cairo, as the violence in the Egyptian capital escalates.
Jon Thompson, Director at ACS, said: “Many people are realising that the most efficient way of leaving Egypt is on a chartered aircraft. We have seen huge demand over the weekend and all of today. Cairo Airport has gone as far as to bring in the army to assist with security checks, clearances and aircraft slots. “Along with the flights that we have already performed we have many scheduled to depart tomorrow from both Cairo and Alexandria. Fortunately the situation at the airport as of this evening seems to be improving and the backlog is beginning to clear a little. Whilst some of the aircraft are flying to more ‘local’ safe havens such as Dubai, Turkey and Greece, others have flown as far as the States.” Air Charter Service arranges more than 5,000 charters every year, incorporating tens of thousands of flight legs, on all aircraft - private jets, larger widebody airliners and cargo aircraft. # # # Air Charter Service is an air charter broker with a global network of 9 offices in North America, Europe, Africa, CIS, the Middle East and Asia.
