Egyptian authorities have implemented most airport security measures demanded by Russia, with the remaining ones to be put in place in the coming weeks, an aide to the Egyptian Interior Minister, Hisham Bastawi, said on Friday. A biometric system of employee access to airports, which monitors the time of arrival and departure of staff, is among the measures to be implemented, according to Bastawi. "Russian experts during their last visit asked the Egyptian authorities for a number of additional measures, which have been implemented for the most part." "Several remaining simple measures will be taken in the coming weeks," Bastawi told Akhbar Al-Youm newspaper in an interview. On Thursday, Russian Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said that Egyptian authorities were planning to complete the measures to ensure security at the airports by end of 2016. (ahramonline)
