\nThe second terminal of the airport of the Egyptian capital is currently considered Currently, it's the most modern and technologically advanced. It opened in 2017 after a complete modernization. All flights to Moscow depart from here. EgyptAir flights from Moscow arrive at Terminal 3, the airport's hub.<\/p>\n

\nAll passengers departing from Terminal 2 initially undergo a general screening upon entering the terminal using a scanner and a metal detector. Aviation security officers conduct a hand search of each passenger, requiring them to remove shoes and any metal objects, including rings and chains. If any suspicion arises, baggage is also subject to a hand search.<\/p>\n

\nAfter checking in, dropping off baggage, and passing through passport control, passengers undergo another security check in the terminal's "clean" area. At this stage of security, a separate area is provided for passengers flying to Moscow. Staff perform a second manual search of each passenger, and carry-on baggage is typically scanned twice. The Egyptian staff's actions are closely monitored by two Russian aviation security specialists. As previously reported, a total of eight Russian aviation security specialists will be present at the airport, also supervising the preparation of aircraft for flight.<\/p>\n

\nThe final stage of passenger screening occurs immediately before boarding. At the boarding gate, Egyptian security personnel manually inspect passengers' personal belongings, including Duty Free purchases, without the use of scanners or frames. Suspicious items are then examined using an ethamizer, a device capable of memorizing odors. It involves wiping a piece of special fabric over a person's hand or clothing, then placing it in the ethamizer chamber to determine whether the passenger has come into contact with a potentially hazardous substance.<\/p>\n

\nAt the same time, Egyptians do everything slowly but carefully, so it is better to arrive at the airport early.<\/p>\n

\nOn April 11, 2018, Russia resumed air service to Egypt after a more than two-year hiatus. Aeroflot operates Moscow-Cairo flights three times a week\u2014on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays\u2014and return flights on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. EgyptAir, Egypt's national carrier, operates three scheduled flights a week between the Egyptian and Russian capitals\u2014on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. Both companies use Airbus A320 aircraft on this route.<\/p>\n

\nAir travel between Russia and Egypt was suspended in November 2015. Russia suspended the flight following the crash of a Kogalymavia plane flying from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg over Sinai. All 217 passengers and seven crew members were killed. The FSB subsequently classified the crash as a terrorist attack, blaming a bomb on board the plane for the cause. President Vladimir Putin announced Russia's fundamental readiness to resume air travel between Moscow and Cairo in December 2017.<\/p>\n
