Egyptian aviation authorities have ordered the driveways to Cairo International Airport be equipped with X-ray devices for detecting explosives, Al-Ahram reported on Monday (August 7th).
The devices are set to be installed at the two main driveways within two months, according to the paper.
In July, a delegation of Russian experts on aviation security completed security checks of the second terminal of the Cairo airport, approving security measures at the airport.
The experts examined one of the gates at the Cairo International Airport Terminal 2, which would be used for the boarding of Aeroflot passengers.
They also examined the measures taken by Egypt to ensure the security of passengers, luggage and airport personnel entering staff-only areas, as well as the cargo zone, video surveillance system and the recently installed biometric equipment for scanning staff entering the building.
Russia laid down its conditions for Egypt-bound flights to run again following the crash of a Russian plane in October 2015, which killed all 224 passengers and crew on board.
After the incident several countries demanded that certain security measures be implemented at Egyptian airports in order to resume direct flights.
