Biometric airport equipment recommended by Russian inspectors to improve Egyptian airport security is due to arrive in Egypt this November, Egypt’s Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathy said on Monday. "It should arrive in Egypt mid-November. We will need some time to install it, then we will contact our Russian colleagues and discuss our next steps," Fathy told Russian journalists on the one year anniversary of the Russian A321 plane crash over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. Acting on Russia's recommendations following the latest safety inspections in September, Fathy said Cairo had ordered the biometric access systems to track the arrival and departure of airport staff and expected them to be installed within four months. According to Sputnik News, the Minister added that Egypt is working with experts to install the systems in "at least two airports," without specifying their names. Several European airlines have been given the green light to fly to Sharm El-Sheikh, the latest being Belgian Jetairfly, which resumed flights yesterday, following a one-year suspension. (ahramonline)
