EgyptAir passes TSA inspection for 26th time in a row

State airline EgyptAir has passed an inspection by the U.S. Transport Security Administration (TSA), whose team of inspectors visited Cairo for three days, chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company, Safwat Mosallam announced Sunday.

The inspectors reviewed security procedures applied on the flights operated between Cairo and New York, mainly operated by the national carrier.

Mosallam said the team of inspectors had checked all procedures the carrier applies during its daily service to New York. “This included passengers, luggage, and cabin security,” explained Mosallam.
