Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El-Hefny said late on Sunday, January 4, 2026, that Egypt’s airports will replace paper landing cards with a digital system for all arriving and departing passengers by the end of January, aiming to simplify travel and improve the passenger experience.
In a phone interview with Sada El-Balad TV, El-Hefny stated that the ministry is finalizing a digital application to replace the paper passport card, which will enable passenger data to be processed electronically.
The move is aimed at accelerating passenger flow inside terminals, particularly during peak travel periods, and raising service quality in line with international standards.
El-Hefny stated that the reform is part of a broader strategy to digitize services across Egyptian airports, noting that a recent cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, reviewed the latest developments in the pilot phase of the integrated electronic visa issuance system.
The system will allow visa applications to be submitted and tracked online, reducing paperwork while ensuring speed and accuracy.
