Cairo's international airport will be partly closed at night due to fewer incoming flights and to save energy, reports said on Monday, highlighting the economic crisis sweeping Egypt.
Two runways will be closed for four hours starting from 1.30 am (2330 GMT) “in order to save energy”, said civil aviation minister Wael al-Maadawi in statements carried by the press.
Only one runway, at Terminal 3 - which serves as a regional hub - will remain open 24 hours a day.
