At the ACI World Airport Experience Summit 2026 in Istanbul, Aiman Fawzi Arab, Chairman & CEO of the Egyptian Holding Company for Airports and Air Navigation (EHCAAN), shares his perspective on Egypt’s growing role in global aviation and its ambitious airport development plans.

From strengthening Egypt’s global presence to hosting the ACI World General Assembly in Sharm El-Sheikh in October 2027, Egypt is positioning itself for the next phase of international aviation growth.

A key part of this vision is the development of Terminal 4 at Cairo International Airport, planned to add 40 million passengers of annual capacity, with scalability to 65 million passengers per year.

✈️ Aviation Resilience: Travel Demand Remains Strong

At the ACI World Airport Experience Summit 2026 in Istanbul, Justin Erbacci, Director General of ACI World, highlights the continued resilience of global air travel despite ongoing challenges.

“The airline industry has remained resilient,” with people continuing to travel and aircraft returning to regular service across markets worldwide.

Even in the Middle East, traffic and the number of flights operating to and from the region have increased significantly. With connectivity continuing to expand, passengers can still reach destinations around the world.

Looking ahead, Erbacci expects this momentum to continue through the end of the year — with a message for holiday travellers: book your holidays, because the connectivity is there.

✈️ Can we rethink how we talk about flying?

On 31 August, Aviation-Event Founder & CEO Marcel Riwalsky will moderate a public discussion in Frankfurt on the environmental balance of aviation.

“Mobilität und Umweltschutz anders denken: Die ökologische Bilanz des Fliegens”

A fact-based conversation exploring aviation, mobility, connectivity and climate impacts beyond simplified comparisons.

Bürgeraktion PRO Flughafen e.V. is calling for a more differentiated debate:

“In public debate, flying is often – unjustly – demonised because of its climate effects. At the same time, rail transport is presented in an overly favourable light in terms of its climate impact.”

📍 Saalbau Gallus, Frankfurt
📅 31 August 2026 | 19:00–20:30

Aviation is too complex for simple answers. Let’s talk about it.
