Kuwait industry visit to Egypt opens Cairo door for Jazeera

A meeting between the Egyptian Prime Minister and Kuwait's Chamber of Commerce has opened the way for Jazeera Airways to begin flights to Cairo - making it the first low cost carrier to have access to the Egyptian capital

The approval has been given because Jazeera began a two-class configuration and meets the fare requirements of the Egyptian authorities which have kept the low cost carriers in Alexandria or other secondary cities in Egypt

The breakthrough came lon Thursday when Egyptian Prime Minister Dr. Esam Sharaf received the chairman of Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Ali Al-Ghanem and his entourage to discuss the economic cooperation and explore the new investment opportunities in Egypt.
Welcoming the visit to Egypt by the KCCI delegation, Dr. Sharaf reaffirmed his country's desire to cement the bilateral ties with Kuwait in all domains particularly the economic and investment ones.He highlighted the need to upgrade the investment partnership and optimise benefit from the close historical ties between the two nations.
"In the wake of the regime change, Egypt is looking forward to more Kuwaiti investments in all sectors particularly the industrial one," Dr. Sharaf told his guests, pledging that his government would spare no effort to facilitate Kuwaiti and other Arab investments.
The Egyptian prime minister told the delegation that his government would facilitate the launching of new investment projects through curtailing bureaucratic red tape that used to hinder economic development for a long time.
The talks touched on the problems of Kuwaiti investors and the possibility of allowing Jazeera Airways access to Cairo.
"Dr. Sharaf has told us that a final decision approving Jazeera flights to Cairo has been made and the new destination will be open very soon," Al-Ghanem said.
