OVERALL PROGRAM AND ASSIGNMENT BACKGROUND The main objective of this project is to support the Government of Egypt’s efforts to rationalize its future interventions in the Egyptian aviation sector, through the development of a National Airports Master Plan for Egypt and identify a pipeline of potential Public-Private Partnerships. Air Transport plays an important role in the Egyptian Economy, particularly, for the development of tourism and tourist related activities given that 80 percent of tourists arrive in Egypt by air. The fast growth in Tourism traffic during the 2000’s, reaching an all-time record in year 2010, led to the planning of several airport extensions intended to eliminate capacity constraints. However, the drop-in air traffic in 2011 following collapse of tourism in the aftermath of the Egyptian Revolution, and the sluggish recovery ever since, exacerbated by other more recent events, has pushed the Government to rethink its programs in light of emerging priorities. In particular, the Government would like to rationalize its future interventions in the sector through the development of a financially sustainable Airport Master Plan to guide long-term planning and the prioritization investments. The proposed Plan will assess and prioritize options for accommodating future capacity and level of service requirements, including increasing capacities of existing sites vs. developing new locations, as well as optimizing the operational patterns to harness potential complementarities between airports with the aim of enhancing the economic and financial viability of the investments and the sustainability of the Egyptian aviation sector. Parallel to this, the Government also intends to boost airport productivity and efficiency, through the involvement of private sector in the management of some of the country’s largest international airports, as well as the cargo facilities. The latter’s knowhow and innovative capacity will benefit the sector through the introduction of state-of-the art management techniques and the development of airports revenue streams, especially for areas dedicated to commercial activities. Finally, large capital amounts that may be required for some planned developments that could be raised off Government balance sheet, through the private investment, allowing Egypt to diversify sources and keep scarce public resources for social needs like education or health. A particular challenge will be to explore the possibility of grouping airports that do not have enough passengers with that of main airports to become financially self-sustainable and feasible as a PPP. For the Government’s policies to succeed, conditions related to the legal and regulatory framework will need to be conducive to private sector participation. Optimal procurement options that achieve value for money will be identified. Schemes that are more conducive to PPP shall be identified, along with an assessment of financial feasibility. 1.2. PURPOSE OF REPORT This report corresponds to the fifth deliverable of the study and covers Task 5: Development of Master Plan and Identification of PPP Pipeline. The primary objectives of this task/report are to develop a network/nation-wide Airport Master Plan to guide long-term planning and investment prioritization leading to the development of a preliminary pipeline of potential airport sector PPP projects. As defined in the Terms of Reference, Task 5 includes two primary components: 1. Development of Airport Master Plan, including capital cost estimates (CAPEX) 2. Evaluation of PPP projects/Formulation of PPP pipeline IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 10 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Due to limitations placed on the Consultant’s ability to carry out site visits and the secondary data provided by the EHCAAN, this Egyptian airport system master plan should not be viewed and evaluated as an infrastructure development study, but rather a strategic vision of the airport network, with planning guidelines for identifying and evaluating the development alternatives by clearly defining the future needs of airport stakeholders and maintaining focus throughout the planning effort. This planning effort results in the identification of key investment requirements at the Egyptian airports over the planning horizon. 1.3. APPROACH As presented in previous reports of the current assignment, air traffic in Egypt has encountered several trends in the last decades. The decade following the new millennium saw a tourism boom in Egypt, supported by investments by the Government of Egypt (GoE) at Cairo International Airport and at Red Sea destinations, primarily Sharm El-Sheikh and Hurghada. In 2010, the Sohag International Airport (HMB) was inaugurated, as the new international airport in the country, located approximately 24 kilometers (15 mi) south of the capital of the Sohag Governorate of Egypt. The airport comprises of a passenger terminal, control tower, aprons, a runway, and several buildings allocated for various airport services, with parking for vehicle and buses and all service utilities. The airport primarily caters to domestic travel and traffic between Sohag/Upper Egypt and the Persian Gulf states, including Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Also in 2010, Borg El-Arab Airport, another international airport, finished important expansions and infrastructure upgrades, in order to cater for air traffic in the Mediterranean coast and the region surrounding the city of Alexandria, while Alexandria International Airport is undergoing extensive renovations. Borg El-Arab Airport currently serves as the main international entry point for Alexandria and the Nile Delta Region. In 2011, air traffic abated with the outbreak of political situations in the country, as such, the Consultant has developed traffic forecast models based on an analysis of past air traffic domestic and international trends in Egypt and by main geographic zones abroad. These trends were considered in the forecasting exercise through the development of alternate scenarios. For this report, the IOS Partners Team has developed an infrastructure analysis of the airports in the national network, determining airport capacity and requirements based on the demand profiles of a typical busy day. Typical peaks period or peak hour demand should be used whenever possible for planning purposes, rather than annual figures. The typical peak is the maximum level of traffic, lower than the absolute peak, reached in busy periods of a typical busy day. Nevertheless, demand capacity and alternatives for airport development cannot always be based on formulations related to air traffic projections during peak periods, due to the lack of information relevant to the specific facility (size, conditions, processing times, etc.). In these cases, capacity and requirements area needs can be estimated in order-of-magnitude ranges for overall sizes, to broadly define the scope, based upon information provided of other existing facilities, as benchmarking parameters. Addressing investment and capacity needs in the Egyptian airports will formulate the basis of the plan. A bottom-up approach will be implemented, by first assessing airports individually before an analysis within the broader context of the national aviation system. Using the traffic growth and forecasting from the previous tasks, IOS Partners will compare the current airport capacities with the optimal use of the airport infrastructure of the system, identifying capacity gaps (if any) and determining requisite investments needed to facilitate optimal operations. This will then be used to develop investment plans. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 11 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS The next step was to undertake a preliminary screening of potential projects in the Egyptian Airport sector in terms of the applicability of utilizing PPP modalities from the point of view of both the Government and the private sector. The IOS Partners Team has developed and applied a tool that permits recording critical information for prospective PPP projects that facilitated their screening in accordance with key criteria for ranking/selecting projects for further development. This tool consists of a model that the consulting team has used for systematically organizing collected data and rating each potential project according to the variables that will provide a basis for evaluating the projects according to these key criteria. This preliminary screening process is utilized to then select a pipeline of potential PPP projects that will be further evaluated in Task 6 of this study. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 12 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 2. AIRPORT MASTERPLAN 2.1. IDENTIFICATION OF AIRPORT CAPACITY One of the key activities towards preparation of the Master Plan is to identify the current capacity at the airports, which can then be compared with the traffic forecasts for each group over a 20-year period, from 2018 through 2037, divided into four 5-year segments, and prepared under three (3) scenarios (Medium, High and Low).1 Demand capacity analyses - and subsequent alternatives development - are based on priorities, established by the operational continuity of the airport; and the location flexibility. In summary, capacity considerations should be analyzed for:  Airfield operational areas (i.e., runways, taxiways and aprons);  Passenger terminals;  Support facilities;  Surface accesses; and  Non-aviation airport land uses. It is to be noted that the Consulting Team traveled to Egypt to perform an on-site analysis of the airports. The objectives were to carry out site visits to gather first-hand information regarding the existing facilities, to assess conditions in the airfield and landside areas, record processing times and gather all needed information to have all the elements to perform the capacity assessment and determine alternative developments. Due to security restrictions, the team was not allowed to visit the airports.2 Given that access to sufficient relevant data was also not feasible, an evaluation of support facilities, surface accesses, utilities and non-airport land uses was not possible and is not presented in this Report. In the specific case of air cargo facilities at most Egyptian airports, capacity consideration would not be evaluated given that cargo traffic is quite minimal, accounting for significantly less than 1% of the national total, and in most cases is not even reported as part of the official traffic statistics. The exception is the Cairo International Airport (CAI), where cargo facilities were evaluated based on the forecasted figures. Policies and objectives of airport capacity, as stated in the IATA’s Air port Development Reference Manual (ADRM) – 10th Edition, are structured as follows:  All airport capacity enhancement programs are closely tied to an airport master plan;  The master plan is prepared by independent consultants with global experience and a proven history or delivering plans that enable all stakeholders to expand their operations and undertake profitable business;  Airlines and their representative associations are fully involved in the development and review of the master plan;  Infrastructure is designed to be as cost-efficient as possible (facilities should not be “gold plated");  The master plan allows for unfettered incremental expansion of all facilities until the ultimate capacity of the site is attained; and  No development proceeds until a master plan is in place. 1The 20-year traffic forecasts can be found in Report 2 of this project. 2 Prior to the Inception Mission, IOS proposed an agenda of site visits that included Cairo and most of the medium airports. Permission to visit the airports was not granted by Government authorities at that time or subsequently due to heightened “security considerations”. The IOS Team did request if we could still visit only the less sensitive areas of the airports, but this was also denied. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 13 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS A master plan is required so that all airside, landside and airport support facilities can develop, expand and improve the operational flexibility and efficiency of their business in a structured, balanced and orderly fashion. All airports should have a master plan to guide their future infrastructure development in a logical, cost -efficient and affordable manner. Without a master plan, there is a risk that short-term decision making will result in projects for capacity enhancement being poorly located or inappropriately sized, resulting in wasteful expenditures or restrictions on the airport's overall capacity or performance. The importance of adequate facilities is paramount when assessing airport capacity. An airport needs to be looking to the future to ensure that, as traffic increases and its composition (fteet mix) changes, the facilities will be in place to meet the needs of that traffic. Failure to plan and to develop sufficient facilities (e.g., airspace, airside infrastructure, passenger terminal, support facilities. surface access systems. etc.) will have a direct impact on users and stakeholders, reflected on:  Wasted or ineffective capital investment;  Congestion and delays impacting on passengers; and  Poor customer experience and level of service. The airport master plan must meet the challenge of anticipating for sufficient capacity and level or service for the forecast aircraft, passenger, cargo and vehicle movements:  At the optimal capital and operating costs;  In a phased approach, so as not to provide unnecessary infrastructure for a long period;  That fully meets all applicable regulatory requirements;  That provides flexibility both in terms of traffic levels and composition, because the future is uncertain; and the forecasts are simply a reasonable estimate of demands that may occur;  That is aligned with existing and expected future market conditions;  That considers reasonable and foreseeable trends in technology, systems and service patterns;  That allows incremental expansion towards the ultimate development potential of the site. The planner constantly needs to be addressing the question, "and then what?";  That considers all constraints and opportunities; and  That is an active document open to revision as circumstances change. It is recommended that all master plan assumptions be thoroughly reviewed and tested at least every five years through ongoing consultation with the aviation community. Statistical traffic trends should be reviewed against forecasts on an annual basis to ensure all planning assumptions are still valid. Development plans and phasing should be linked to traffic volumes, not specific years. For example, a specific development is required when the airport has a certain number of enplaned/deplaned passengers, rather than for a determined year. This approach provides flexibility and will not trigger expansion until it is actually needed. To facilitate future growth, airport owners, developers and designers should seek to ensure that airports can be expanded incrementally. Additional infrastructure should be added in an economically efficient manner on a "just in time” basis to meet increasing demand without negatively impacting investments in earlier facilities. Furthermore, ongoing expansions and development must be planned so as not to negatively impact on-going airport operations. A comprehensive Master Plan that addresses the phases of development is crucial. The aim of good design should be that all incremental developments are consistent with the outcome shown in the Master Plan. Declared capacity refers to site specific limiting capacities, in numeric terms, of individual facilities and resources. The declared capacity is used as the basis for airport coordination parameters. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 14 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 2.1.1. Level of Service The concept of Level of Service (LOS) has been applied in various ways for the design of new facilities, the expansion and monitoring of existing facilities, and as a benchmark that determines whether the contractual obligations of airport owners, operators and for third party service providers are being met. The LOS references have been reviewed and refined in a way that now incorporates waiting time aspects and perceived service quality in addition to the spatial requirements. The Level of Service (LOS) concept is a way to ensure that demand, processing rates and service quality are considered when defining airport service levels. The LOS can be expressed in terms of the design target or actual achieved. Most LOS provisions fluctuate during the day, week or month depending on traffic peaks. The larger the peaks, the more potential Impact there is on LOS. In developing alternatives, the focus shall be in providing options with a balanced LOS. The objective is to provide a realistic design horizon for passenger facilities without overproviding or underproviding, determining facility requirements for a given design throughput and always taking into consideration that forecast busy hour will provide facilities that operate according to an optimum LOS, aligned to the throughput, but also cognizant that during the busiest/peak traffic periods, the optimum LOS may not be achieved. The new LOS framework, updated in the IATA’s ADRM 10th Edition (2014), is based on only three levels, as defined in the following Table: Table 1 – Level of Service Definitions Level of Service (Equivalence with Level of previous definition Space Time Service – ADRM 9th Edition) Excessive or empty space Over-provision of Overdesign A-B resources Sufficient space to Final Version accommodate the necessary Optimum C functions in a comfortable environment Crowded and uncomfortable Unacceptable processing and Suboptimum D-E waiting times Source: IATA’s ADRM 10th Edition, 2014 When planning/designing for processing facilities and corresponding queuing areas, two important variables will jointly dictate the LOS: queuing space and waiting time, as depicted in the next figure. When planning/designing expansions or new airport, targeted LOS may be considered for initial sizing. The target value must be within the specified LOS optimum range. Again, the target should reflect the local realities and be responsive to passenger behavior and needs. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

Selected Approach and Methodology The purpose of the Capacity Evaluations is to distinguish those airports which are forecast to have a higher level of utilization from those which are not anticipated to see a significant level of demand over the planning period. The methodology used for performing the Capacity Evaluation is to compare the current airside and landside (passenger terminal facilities) capacity to forecast demand. The airside configuration is typically analyzed as independent elements, such as the runway – taxiway system, the apron areas, cargo facilities, and the general aviation area. The analyses also include various support components, such as Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting, Air Traffic Services, and NAVAIDs. Once the capacities of the various airside elements is determined, they are contrasted to the projected traffic - in activity levels – in order to determine if additional capacity is necessary to cover the forecasted demand. The Airport Reference Code (Code) is a critical factor in determining compliance with specific design guidelines promulgated by ICAO. It is also a factor in determining compatibility with forecast activities. Thus, the Code not only sets the standards that existing facilities must comply with in order to provide a safe and efficient setting for aircraft operations, and to maintain aerodrome certification, but also factors in the determination of airside facility requirements throughout the planning period. This is done by identifying the physical characteristics of the aircraft which comprise the projected traffic. In sum, from a planning point of view, the Code is used to establish the parameters for the development of an airport’s infrastructure to meet current and forecast demand. The guidance used to determine current airside capacity is provided in the ICAO’s Airport Planning Manual – Part 1, Master Planning (Doc 9184-AN/902), Section 6.3. Using this methodology, it was possible, based on the airfield configuration, to determine the Annual Service Volume (ASV), as well as the Hourly Capacity (HC), of airside configurations at the airports in Egypt. In the case of passenger terminal facilities, an analysis based on peak-hour figures was not possible as the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (processing times, equipment performance, etc.), due to the fact that site visits were not permitted. Therefore, the sizing of terminal areas instead takes into account benchmarking parameters, based on total annual passengers and overall facilities’ areas. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 16 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS According to IATA’s Airport Development Reference Manual – 9th Edition (in accordance with FAA’s Planning and Design of Airports – 4th Edition), capacity and requirements area needs can be estimated in order-of-magnitude ranges for the overall size of a terminal facility, to broadly define the scope, based upon information which summarizes the space provided of other existing facilities. However, IATA’s Airport Development Reference Manual – 10th Edition, has revised these parameters. There are several key concepts to be observed when developing terminal options, taking into account the area allocated per peak-hour passengers. As noted, when designing facilities, the maximum SQM/PHP figure should not exceed 25 square meters for purely domestic passengers, 30 sqm for charter passengers and 35 sqm for international scheduled passengers. The benchmarking parameters, presented by IATA’s Development Reference Manual – 10th Edition, depict a range of PHP as % of annual passenger of 0.003 for airport terminals processing more than 20 MPPA. This percentage varies to 0.004 for terminals at airports processing 4 to 9 MPPA, which is the appropriate spectrum for the evaluation of medium-size airport in Egypt, including HEB. Another estimate is obtained by applying a ratio of 15 m² per design-hour passenger, although this range can grow up to 30 m² or higher (also could be lesser than 15 m²), depending on specific characteristics of the country, traveler profile, forecasted traffic, etc. An approximation of the allocation of space for various purposes in a terminal building indicates:  55% of terminal space is rentable  45% of terminal space is non-rentable  35% - 40% of terminal space for airline operations (passenger and baggage processing areas)  15% - 25% of terminal space for concession and airport administration  25% - 35% of terminal space for public spaces  10% - 15% of terminal space for utilities, shops, tunnels and stairways These guidelines are useful for general planning and evaluation purposes; although a final determination of the actual space allocations is to be made following detailed analyses of the performance of the elements of the system and consultation with airlines and airport management. This evaluation is not within the scope of this study, thus not presented as part of this Report. In terms of total annual passenger traffic, related to terminal areas at airports, gross terminal-area space requirements of between 0.0074 and 0.011 m² per annual enplaned passenger are reasonable. As an average, 0.01 m² per yearly passenger is generally adopted. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 17 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 2.2. ASSESSMENT OF EGYPTIAN AIRPORT SECTOR 2.2.1. Classification of Airports The National Airport System - that forms part of this study - consists of twenty-two (22) airports, with different locations throughout the Egyptian territory, which currently have - or have had - commercial operations. Twenty-one (21) of those airports are currently managed by the Egyptian Airports Company (EAC), while Cairo International Airport (CAI) is managed by the Cairo Airport Company (CAC). Figure 1 depicts the approximate location of these airports. Figure 2: National Airport System3 For consistency purposes, in order to maintain a coherent structure throughout the entire study, the airports in Egypt have been classified following the same principles implemented in the air traffic assessment (see Report 2). As such, the airports were categorized into three (3) groups, based on the airport’s size, the degree to which it processes significant traffic; and its potential to grow in the future. Some of the airports are currently closed for commercial operations, while the airfield located at 6th of October City is used as an aviation training facility. The different airport groups are presented in the following table. 3 In addition to the 22 airports that made up the national commercial airport system as of February 2018, the map also includes an unlabeled symbol representing the new Cairo area airports expected to be operated by EAC in the near future. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 18 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Table 2 – National Airport System Major Airports Medium Airports Small Airports Cairo El-Nozha (Alexandria) El Alamein Borg El-Arab (Alexandria) Marsa Matrouh Sharm El Sheik Port Said Hurghada Sharq El-Oweinat Marsa Alam St. Catherine Luxor El-Kharga (*) Aswan El Dakhla (*) Abu Simbel El Arish (*) Asyut El Tor (*) Sohag Taba (*) 6th October (**) (*) Airports currently closed for commercial operations, generally for security reasons (**) Aviation training airport CAI is the primary international gateway to Egypt and the only airport that currently process over 10 million annual passengers. The Medium Airports currently serve more than 100,000 annual passengers. These airports, with the exception of Abu Simbel (ABS) and El-Nozha (ALY), also include significant international traffic. The later was formally the primary international airport serving the city of Alexandria, but it has been limited to domestic traffic since the opening of Borg El-Arab (HBE) Airport and may be closed over the short to medium term. The Small category includes primarily non-commercial airports, or those that receive a relatively limited number of often non-scheduled commercial flights. Only Marsa Matrouh (MUH) processes more regular international traffic. Taba (TCP) had also operated very significant international traffic up until 2013 but has since received very little commercial traffic. Not included in the above table are planned new airports, which are not yet operational. The Consultant has not received any physical information related to these aerodromes, other than their general location in the vicinity of the greater Cairo area. As such, it has not been possible to plan the future development of these facilities as part of this analysis. 2.2.2. Airport Types This section presents an evaluation and classification of the aerodromes in the Egyptian Airport System, based on the passenger trip characteristics. Origin and Destination (O/D) Airports The Origin and Destination airport can be defined as an aerodrome that caters mainly to flights and passengers that use the airport primarily as their point of origin or destination. The O/D airport terminal generally does not facilitate transfer traffic. Dedicated O/D terminals are typically not large in scale and tend to serve a limited regional market. Typical examples of primarily O/D terminals are those that: • Serve a niche market; • Serve regional communities; and • Are located near a popular tourist destination IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 19 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Some International airports with limited onward destinations that only cater to a small amount of local regional transfer traffic may also be classed as "predominantly O/D" rather than "dedicated O/D”. In its most simplistic form, an O/D terminal has no transfer facilities and only one centralized processing area. Baggage handling is only provided for inbound and outbound traffic and there is no capability of storing or transferring bags between aircraft. Based on the traffic analysis, performed as part of Task 2 of the study assignment, all airports in the Egyptian Airport System – with the only exception of CAI - are classified as O/D aerodromes, since the majority of the airports do not cater for transfer traffic; and the facilities for this type of traffic is extremely limited at those airports where these capabilities are provided. Transfer (or Hub) Airports A transfer airport (also known as a hub airport) is where passengers and/or cargo are transferred between aircraft without a direct service from their point of origin to their point of destination. In practice, most hub airports cater to both transfer traffic and O/D traffic in one terminal building, or in a system of terminals, the latter being the case of CAI. This optimizes connection opportunities with minimal transfer times. Hub airports concentrate large numbers of passengers (and cargo) from diverse geographical areas in one place, thus augmenting the aviation market. This also allows airlines without direct route rights to transfer passengers. Airlines can build opportunities to transfer passengers across their own operation and that of their partners and alliances. This is often done through code sharing by scheduling flights into aircraft arrivals banks followed by aircraft departures banks to maximize connectivity opportunities. For passengers the hub model can also allow for stop overs on long-haul routes. The airside amenities for transfer passengers must be carefully considered to cater to their needs. Extended waiting times between arriving and departing flights means that hotel rooms, retail outlets, food & beverage provisions as well as toilet and shower facilities should be amply provided. Hub airports are also able to maximize commercial revenue and augment/enhance the overall travel experience with extensive customer offerings. As is the case for any terminal, transfer terminals must in all cases meet stringent international and national security requirements. Security screening for all transferring passengers must be accommodated in the airside zone. Some transfer terminals may also have transit lounges to accommodate onward passengers who must deplane. Transit passengers without the proper visa to "enter the transfer country should not mix with passengers from other flights. A transfer terminal, such as the terminal complex at CAI, is likely to have a significant number of piers and gates to accommodate both short- and long-haul domestic and international aircraft. The movement of passengers between aircraft gates needs to be a primary design consideration, as well as baggage facilities, which are usually quite large, as they need to accommodate a significant amount of transfer baggage. In summary, Cairo International Airport is considered the only Transfer - or Hub – Airport in the Egyptian Airport System, while all the other aerodromes in the system are classified as Origin and Destination airports. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 20 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 2.3. SPATIAL AND FUNCTIONAL CONSIDERATIONS For passenger terminal buildings, IATA – in its Airport Development Reference Manual (10th Edition) – describes the process for assessing future facility requirements for the different types of elements conforming the building or complex, these being processing, holding and circulation facilities. Though it proved difficult to apply these methodologies in this case as the consulting team was not allowed to visit the airports, a general overview is provided in the following sections. 2.3.1. Assessment of Future Facility Requirements Processing Facilities The following steps are recommended for the evaluation of future facility requirements at passenger processing facilities, such as: self-service facilities, bag drop facilities, departures requirements (Emigration), passenger security screening, boarding gates, arrivals requirements (immigration), baggage claim and customs processes. a) Determine the design Peak Hour Passenger (PHP) demand. Generally, specific PHP demands are determined for (1) Departing facilities; (2) Arriving facilities and (3) Transfer facilities; b) Determine the arrival rate of passengers at the facility; c) Determine the processing time of passengers at the facility; d) Determine the secondary factors influencing demand and capacity. If these are not available, assumptions or benchmarks can be used. Secondary factors may include the portion of passengers traveling in first class, the number of bags per passenger, etc.; e) Calculate the number of facility units required to meet the target maximum queue time; f) Calculate the number of passengers in the queue resulting from the calculation in step e); and g) From the results in step f), calculate the effective queuing area required to meet the target LoS space standard. The effective area is net of any obstruction or impediments such as circulation corridors, amenities, etc. Holding Facilities The following steps are recommended for the evaluation of future facility requirements at holding facilities, such as Departure Lounge, Boarding Gates and Arrivals Hall: a) Determine the processing (or departure) rate or occupants from the facility; b) Calculate the maximum number of occupants at any one time during the period under analysis; c) Using the target proportion of seated versus standing occupants, calculate the number of persons seated and the number of persons standing; and IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 21 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS d) Using the LoS space standard, calculate the required effective holding area. The effective area is net of any obstruction or impediments such as walls, amenities, etc. Circulation Facilities For circulation elements and facilities, such as Departures, Arrivals and Transfer Corridors, the evaluation of future facility requirements is recommended by following the indications noted as follows. a) Determine the design passenger flow per hour for travel in one direction and convert into passenger flow per minute; b) Calculate the required effective width using LoS standards for circulation facilities; and c) Adjust the required effective width to account for edge effects. Total (net) width equals to effective width plus 0.5 meters on each side of corridor. If circulation facilities allow movements in both directions, it is recommended to use the total passenger flows for both directions for step a) and adjust total width by adding 0.5 meters for each side of corridor plus another 0.5 meters for counter-flow effect. Passenger Functional Flows at Terminal Buildings It is also useful to delineate the recommended passenger flows thru the different facilities at terminal buildings or complex, differentiating departing from arrivals flows. The following passenger flow descriptions are general and will require further detailed definition in each individual airport terminal case. The flows of departing and arriving passengers must be noted for international and domestic passengers separately, where required, or in any other detailed manner that suits the individual airport situation. Passenger flow descriptions should be considered in conjunction with all other terminal flows required, they shall:  Be sufficiently flexible to permit the establishment of temporary channels that can be bypassed by other passengers (for individual heath control processing, or a particular arriving aircraft passenger load, etc.), or to permit regulation evolution;  Permit processing of passengers individually or in groups; and  Introduce as few level changes as possible. Departing Flows The forecourt represents the landside interface with the terminal building. Passengers approaching by private car or any other form of transportation should intuitively be directed to the terminal building's entrances. Wayfinding (signage), both vehicular and pedestrian, should be used to help orient passengers and facilitate access to the portion of the terminal from which their flight/airline operates. This signage may be variable to address different occupancies at different times of the day. The departures hall is usually the publicly accessible zone that marks the entrance into the terminal. It provides orientation opportunities and should therefore be designed as a generous and unobstructed space that allows an overview of next steps in the passenger journey. The departures hall must also provide intuitive and logical access to these next steps. Currently, this zone is also typically the interface where passengers may obtain a boarding pass, if this has not been done already prior to arriving at the airport, and divest themselves of any checked luggage. This may be facilitated in different ways and the process continues to evolve rapidly. This zone of the airport needs to be addressed based on both current and future processes and functions to ensure flexibility. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 22 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Passengers wishing to enter the airside zones of the airport need to pass security and additional authentication controls. These authentication controls should include boarding pass checkpoints, but can also include emigration and customs controls where applicable. These processes should be provided centrally in the most logical and intuitive locations for the passenger journey. They must also process passengers swiftly and simply, with the least possible disruption and stress. Process improvements continue to evolve and airports need to be able to adapt quickly and with little disruption. The departure lounge is a common space for passengers to wait comfortably for their flights prior to moving to the boarding gates. It provides the passengers with adequate facilities such as retail and food & beverage concessions, toilets, free seating and additional entertainment offerings. Departure lounges should provide ample views of the airside and utilize natural light to reduce passenger stress. There should also be logical and intuitive routes to the gates. Gate lounges and their associated circulation space are the main components of both finger piers and satellites. The gate lounge is an assembly area for passengers in transition between the main processor and the aircraft. Some concessions may be located within the pier or satellite. Gate lounge areas are designed to serve high-capacity aircraft boarded through more than one door and should be arranged so as to expedite passenger flow. Differentiation of passengers may also be accommodated (Business vs Economy, row numbers, etc.). Conveniently-located toilets are required in gate lounge areas. Boarding gates are where passengers usually have access to the Passenger Boarding Bridge (PBS). They pass through a security door after having their boarding pass checked, either self-served or by an agent. Ample space must be provided if escalators are used to access the PBS to avoid congestion problems at the bottom of the escalators. Arrivals Flows Upon arrival by aircraft, arrivals corridors can be provided to direct passengers toward immigration or baggage claim in an intuitive and logical manner. Walking distances to the next steps of the journey should be optimized as much as possible. Where required, for example for international arriving passengers, immigration or other controls can be required. These must, as much as possible, be provided in centralized locations. Entrances and exits must be intuitive to passengers. In baggage claim halls, passengers and their checked luggage are reunited. Baggage claim halls must, as much as possible, be provided in centralized locations and must facilitate the flow of passengers through the claim hall, leading intuitively toward its exit. Customs exits from baggage claim can be required (for international arriving passengers). These must be clearly visible to passengers and facilitate the passage from baggage claim toward the landside arrivals hall. The landside arrivals hall marks the exit of the passenger from the security-restricted environment into the publicly accessible landside airport environment. Here, the passenger can be reunited with waiting “meeters & greeters", and must find intuitive access to the landside pick-up forecourt as well as onward travel opportunities. The arrivals hall must also provide facilities for the waiting "meeters & greeters'', such as retail, food & beverage outlets, toilets and free seating. From the arrivals hall, passengers proceed to the forecourt for pick-up or to the car parking location as well as toward other onward journey ground transportation (bus and coach stations, metro, tram or train stations or taxi ranks). The forecourt can also connect, where applicable, to landside airport city developments with hotels and offices. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 23 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Other Flows There are other functional flows that also need to be considered across terminal facilities, such as staff flows, which are to be carefully assessed, including both front office and back office areas. Other flows, including goods, servicing and vehicle flows should be also considered, taking into consideration dedicated routes which are to be provided or identified for the various delivery and servicing requirements to and from the terminal, as well as routes for vehicles that might operate within a terminal (electric buggies, cleaning and maintenance equipment, display vehicles, segways or scooters, ambulance vehicles or stretchers). It is to be noted that specific and individual requirements must be established for each airport. 2.3.2. Separation of Flows There is general guidance related to the separation of flows in terminal buildings. Some considerations are stated below. Separation of International and Domestic Passenger Flows In line with the requirements and regulations of emigration, immigration and customs, provisions must be made for the separation of international and domestic passengers on the airside of terminals. However, to address differential peaks between domestic and international flights, a flexible arrangement ("swing gate") should be incorporated whenever possible. This enables all or specific gates to be used as required for either category of passengers, and allows for regulation evolution. Separation of Arriving and Departing Passengers According to the requirements from control authorities (immigration, etc.), international arriving passengers must be separated from departing passengers. Facial recognition or other biometric controls may be useful. Other Considerations Related to Passenger Flows All level changes along the passenger flow routes should be provided with escalators and/or ramps. Stairs may also be included as a contingency measure. The use of elevators to enable passengers (other than passengers with reduced mobility) to change levels has the potential to limit capacity. The termination point of an escalator must not be in a confined or restricted processing area where "back flow" might occur. Special care should be taken to ensure that concessions are conveniently located and do not interfere with the passenger flow. While the need to generate additional revenue from commercial opportunities is appreciated and supported when this revenue is used to offset overall costs, passenger flows should not be exclusively routed through concessions areas. Alternate direct routes should also be provided so that passengers have the choice to either avail themselves of commercial opportunities or move quickly and efficiently to their departure gate or specific destination within the terminal complex (CIP lounge, arrivals hall, etc.) According to the functional requirements of business lounges, CIP lounges should be located airside and beyond immigration controls, either along or immediately above primary passenger routes. 2.3.3. Terminal Buildings Security Zones Airports and airport terminals deploy security measures to minimize the risk of a security threat to the airport itself, as well as to aircraft and passengers. Most commonly, passengers and their luggage are security-controlled within the airport terminal before entering any aircraft. Once security-controlled, IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 24 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS passengers and their baggage are considered "sterile" or "clean", depending on different terminology used around the world. Airports generally utilize a zoning concept to manage security within the terminal and the entire airport. Access and egress to and from these zones is managed and controlled in order to maintain their secured integrity at all times. Different security concepts and terminologies exist, however, the most common security zones are defined within the concept of public access, which defines public access to zones that are not security controlled, and to where access is granted at the discretion of the airport. These publicly accessible terminal areas include the arrivals and departures halls. In Egypt, public access to terminal areas is restricted in all airports. To physically access the terminal premises at Egyptian airports, travelers must present proof of travel (boarding pass, travel booking, airline reservation, etc.), and then are security screened (personal and luggage), before accessing the check-in areas. Meeters & greeters are not allowed access to any areas within the terminal buildings (departures or arrivals halls). Other security zones include the security-restricted access zones, where passengers or staff can only access with valid authentication. Such authentication can be a boarding pass, entry through a specific secured location (from an aircraft into the arrivals corridor airside, etc.), or a staff badge. No unauthorized passenger or member of staff may enter the security-restricted zones. An example of a security-restricted zone (depending on local legislation) can be the international baggage claim. Also, security-controlled areas are utilized for departures areas to ensure that threats to aircraft are minimized. To gain access to security-controlled areas, passengers, staff, goods and baggage must be security-screened. Protocols for staff can vary depending on local requirements. As these security controls take time and represent stress to passengers, airports tend to integrate these directly after processing, so that passengers can thereafter enjoy a relaxed stay in an airside departure or gate lounge, waiting for their flights. 2.4. DEMAND/CAPACITY AND REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS 2.4.1. Airport Site Visits and Data Collection The Consultant Team traveled to Egypt to perform an on-site analysis of the airports in order to gather first-hand information regarding the existing facilities and conduct site visits, to assess conditions in the airfield and landside areas, record processing times and gather all needed information to have all the elements to perform the capacity assessment and determine alternative developments. But as stated previously, the Consultant Team was not able to visit any of the airport sites due to security restrictions, as informed by the EHCAAN’s Project Management Unit (PMU) . As such, the data available for the development of the master plan is restricted to the secondary information facilitated by the EHCAAN’s PMU, based on the request list provided by the Consultant, as well as previous studies – already analyzed in earlier reports of this assignment. The purpose of the site evaluation had been to collect data on the current form, condition and performance of all elements of the airports’ infrastructure. This data and the related time spent on site was intended to enable the Team to have an understanding of the development potential of existing facilities. The baseline data to be collected on the site visits was to be used to:  Confirm current land uses on the airport;  Determine the remaining useful life and potential timing of major refurbishment and expansion projects; and IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 25 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS  Determine the capacity and capability of existing infrastructure. Site evaluation data was to be assembled in the following categories: airfield/airspace, passenger terminal, support facilities and surface access systems. The Team expected to collect airfield data, including but not limited to:  Airspace management information, including noise abatement procedures;  Identification of obstacles;  Air and ground navigation aids and traffic control aids;  Geometry of runways, taxiways, holding aprons;  Pavement centerline separation and obstacle clearance distances to assure they are in compliance with ICAO Annex. 14; and  Airport perimeter, including roads and access control systems (CCTV, etc.). The site assessment of passenger terminals was to evaluate condition, determine sizes of rooms and list the numbers of processors. Condition assessment for all building systems, age and condition of terminal systems (structures as well as mechanical, electrical and special systems such as baggage handling systems and security systems) and passenger processing rates (check-in, security, customs, etc.), in order to determine potential bottlenecks and need for improvements. In term of utilities, the Team was expected to record an inventory of utilities (high-voltage electricity, gas. water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, communications, heating and air conditioning) as required. This inventory was to include capacity determination, age, remaining useful life assessment and any possible future constraints. Waste disposal systems, incinerators and other facilities were also inventoried. Finally, an inventory of surface access systems - to/from/on the airport - was to be taken, including access/circulation/service roads, parking, and forecourt space, in order to cover alignment, condition and capacity. Public transportation services were also assessed for capacity and modal split (percentages carried by bus, rail, taxi, limousine, private car, etc.). The availability of data is one factor in determining the scope of and level of effort required for the master plan. Depending on the availability of data, the master plan scope can be sized accordingly. At many airports, a significant amount of the data needed for the master plan may be readily at hand in airport data bases, or in recent reports. It is important to verify the source and relevancy of this existing data to ensure it is accurate and reflects current conditions. Recent studies can provide pertinent information on the history of the airport and how it developed. It can be useful to identify major development milestones on a simple timeline (from airport opening through different capacity expansion phases to the present day). In this case, secondary data was obtained that permitted a full demand/capacity and requirements assessment of the runway systems, aprons, passenger terminals, and in the case of Cairo, the cargo facilities. Unfortunately, the evaluation of support facilities, surface accesses, utilities and non-airport land uses was not possible due to lack of sufficient information and is not presented in this Report. 2.4.2. Cairo International Airport As previously noted, due to security restrictions, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (airside and landside) at CAI. The information on existing facilities at the airport (airside and landside) were provided to the Consultant Team, following a questionnaire index and data request sheets. In order to facilitate the presentation of the information obtained by the Consultant, a summary of the airport facilities is compiled in the following tables. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

Airport Reference Code The current Airport Reference Code for CAI is 4E, nevertheless the airport meets the standards for Code 4F, as the Code is a reflection of both the type of aircraft the airport currently serves or is intended to serve and the physical characteristics of the airport, which are the Airside Design Standards. The physical characteristics of the airport’s airside elements to be evaluated are:  Runway Width;  Taxiway Width;  Shoulder Width;  Runway Strip Width (Runway Safety Area);  Runway Centerline/Parallel Taxiway Centerline;  Taxiway Centerline/Parallel Taxiway Centerline;  Taxiway Centerline/Fixed or Movable Object;  Runway Centerline/Hold Position; and  Runway End Safety Area These parameters (please, refer to CAI’s Aeronautical Information Publication - AIP) are contrasted to ICAO Design Standards (ICAO Annex 14, FAA AC 150/5300-13), in order to establish compliance with international rules and regulations. It is to be noted that a third parallel runway (and associated taxiways) were built since the completion of the latest airport master plan - The National Airport Master Plan (NAMP), developed by the Louis Berger Group, Inc. (2006). IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 28 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS CAI’s physical characteristics currently meets the Airside Design Standards associated with its current Code. Any change in the Code will require modifications of the Airside Design Standards - and also - a further review of the facility requirements needed to meet the revised Airside Design Standards. Since CAI is currently meeting the highest level of design standards associated with the ICAO (Code 4F), changes to the Code are not anticipated during the period of the study. As CAI comes under the guidance of ICAO, the organization’s stipulations regarding capacity assessment are to be followed, which are those contained in the United States Federal Aviation Administrat ion’s (FAA) Airport Capacity and Delay, Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5060-5. For this analysis, the Hourly Capacity (HC) and the Annual Service Volume (ASV) for the Airside Components have been determined, including:  Runway – Taxiway System;  Gate and Apron Area(s); and  Air Cargo Also, the capacity of other elements of the airside is to be analyzed to support a given demand. These components are needed to support airside operations and can directly impact the ability of the airport to efficiently and safely serve current and forecasted traffic, these components include:  Airspace and Potential Obstructions to Air Navigation;  Navigational Aids and Air Traffic Control;  Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting;  Fuel Storage and Dispensing; and  Airline Services As airport site visits were not possible (as noted earlier), the Consultant has based the analysis on the assessment of previous studies and the data provided by ECHAAN/CAC. The NAMP established the characteristics of the runway – taxiway system of CAI, including the third runway (in construction during the development of that study), currently completed. The analyses presented established that in year 2025, the HC of the system was 116 movements, with an ASV of 326,000. Having determined, as appropriate, the Hourly Capacity and ASVs for the airside components, their capacities are compared to forecasted traffic, in order to determine facility requirements – if any required. The comparative analysis, referred as a Demand/Capacity Analysis, and the resultant Facility Requirements, are presented for the CAI airfield. Table 5 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of aircraft movements (ATMs), for the peak hour and totals per year. Table 5 – Summary of Projected Aircraft Movements (ATMs) for Cairo International Airport PROJECTED TRAFFIC (YEARS) AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS (ATMS) 2017 2022 2027 2032 2037 Peak Hour 35 35 40 45 47 Annual 149,994 186,687 221,673 255,381 286,146 Source: IOS Partners, Inc. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 29 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system in 116 movements, with an Annual Service Volume of 326,000 for the year 2025 (as per the NAMP), it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037 (HC = 47; ASV = 286,146) do not exceed the capacity of the system. Again, this analysis has included the third operational runway. Development plans and phasing should be linked to traffic volumes, not specific years. For example, a specific development is required when the airport has a determined number of enplaned/deplaned passengers, not for a specific year. This approach provides flexibility and will not trigger expansion until it is actually needed. Industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for CAI’s Runway – Taxiway System have been determined at 70 Peak Hour operations (60% of a HC of 116), or 195,600 annual operations (60% of the ASV) for planning purposes. For construction, the demand triggers are 93 Peak Hour operations (80% of the HC), or 260,800 annual operations (80% of the ASV). It is also noted that two new airports are expected to begin operations the near future in the greater Cairo area, further alleviating the demand at CAI. The Katameya International Airport (serving the planned New Administrative Capital) and the Sphinx International Airport are both slated to share the air traffic with CAI. Whilst only minimal infrastructure information related to these new airports has been available to the Consultant, it is expected that the capacity provided by the three aerodromes would be more than enough to absorb the traffic demand for the Greater Cairo region. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity The 2006 NAMP established the requirements of the aircraft parking apron and gate needs, based on two alternative methods. One of them, depicting distribution of positions according to aircraft categories (mainly C, D, E and F); while the other compared overall sizes of existing aircraft parking aprons vs. operational needs in terms of total surface areas, expressed in m². The data, provided by CAC to the Consultant, includes the total areas of 17 different apron areas, which will be taken into consideration for this analysis, excluding those not directly related to the passenger terminal areas (such as the cargo village apron). However, the impossibility to perform a survey of the airport areas (including aircraft parking aprons) has limited the current analysis, as the information regarding aircraft stand markings, MARS (Multiple Aircraft Ramp System) and other elements are not available. According to CAC’s provided data, the aprons serving the terminal complex at CAI provide a total of 95 aircraft parking positions: 18 stands at apron serving TB-2 and 77 stands serving TB-3. These aprons serve the entire range of aircraft categories, from C to F. Assumptions The ICAO guidance indicates Code D and E aircraft operating as an international flight typically have gate occupancy times of 60 minutes and 120 minutes, respectively (Section 7.3, Airport Planning Manual – Part One, Master Planning (Doc 9184-AN/902 Part 1). The same guidance indicates Code C and D aircraft operating in domestic service would typically have a gate occupancy time of 45 minutes. It has been assumed international Code F and domestic Code E aircraft would have Gate Occupancy Times of 180 and 60 minutes, respectively. The Gate Occupancy Times are listed in Table 6. To provide a continuity in the analysis, this study has based the capacity evaluation following the same method utilized in the NAMP, which is utilizing the Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecasts, in order to establish a range of aircraft parking apron utilization. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 30 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS The forecast ADPM for CAI indicates international flights will make up for almost 90% of total flights throughout the planning period; therefore, it would be appropriate, from a gate capacity standpoint, to utilize a gate occupancy time of 120 minutes per arrival. Table 6 – Gate Occupancy Times (in minutes) Gate Occupancy Times per Aircraft Code Arrival Type C D E F International 60 60 120 180 Domestic 45 45 60 - Source: ICAO/IOS Partners, Inc. Given the mix nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin/destination and transfer flights), it is derived that the domestic peaks are very accentuated during specific times of the day, while international peaks are relatively continuous, as the global location of Cairo makes it a suitable point of traffic from every market (Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, etc.). Therefore, in a conservative manner, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the high range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM, in order to balance the marked domestic peaks and the less prominent international peaks. For the benefit of this analysis, a peak hour arrival of 60% has been utilized. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 878 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 12% - given the fact that traffic at CAI is continually during the operational day - the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 64 positions (60% of 12% of 878). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in Table 7. Table 7 – Summary of Projected Aircraft Positions for the Cairo International Airport 2023- 2028- 2032- 2022 2027 2032 2037 ATMs - Average Day, Peak 573 680 784 878 Month (ADPM) Assumption of Peak Hour 69 82 95 106 Traffic as 12% (average) Gate Requirements as 60% of 42 50 57 64 Peak Hour Arrival Traffic - Source: IOS Partners, Inc. Results Given the current number of positions is 95, it has been estimated the demand for gate positions within the peak hour will be below current capacity by the end of the planning period (year 2037). To determine more specifically when this overcapacity will occur, and what type of development should be implemented, will require a more detailed analysis including airline schedules and fleet mix. In addition, the demand for Remain Over Night (RON) positions must also be considered. RON positions often occupy remote parking positions; however, given the current layout and the distribution of peaks during the day, RON positions might be accounted for within the existing apron area. Additionally, in order to determine if overall apron area (in terms of square meters of apron dedicated to aircraft parking) is sufficient to support the forecast demand, it is recommendable to assign typical “gross area per aircraft Code”. The boundaries of the gross area per aircraft Code are based on a representative aircraft occupying a non-contact gate position and is depicted in the table below. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 31 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Table 8 – Gross Area per Aircraft Code Aircraft Code/Category C D E F 3,100 m² 4,700 m² 6,600 m² 9,300 m² * The gross area per Aircraft Code is based on standard safety clearances and professional judgment It should also be noted that two new airports near Cairo are expected to start operations in the near future. It is expected that these aerodromes will share regional traffic volumes with CAI, and that the total combined capacity provided by the three airports would be enough to absorb the traffic demand forecasted for the Cairo region, at least throughout the study period. Terminal Complex Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows:  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 16 million in the base year 2017 to 33.8 million by 2037; this represents an annual average growth of 3.8% Table 9 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of millions of passengers per year (MPPA). Table 9 – Summary of Projected Passenger Traffic for Cairo International Airport PROJECTED TRAFFIC (YEARS) 2023- 2028- 2032- 2017 2022 2027 2032 2037 International Passengers - 14,046,294 17,996,733 22,115,861 26,291,316 30,691,652 Commercial Domestic Passengers - 1,906,606 2,250,304 2,609,813 2,968,734 3,135,005 Commercial Total Commercial 15,952,900 20,247,037 24,725,674 29,260,049 33,826,657 Passengers Other 238 1,345 1,523 1,724 1,951 Total (MPPA) 15,953,138 20,248,382 24,727,197 29,261,773 33,828,608 Source: IOS Partners, Inc. According to the data provided by EHCANN/CAC, related to current airport capacity, CAI’s facilities are capable of process a total of approximately 27.8 million passengers per year. This figure is a combined number of commercial passengers (international and domestic) distributed among the terminal complex (TB-1, TB-2, TB-3 and the seasonal/hajj terminal). Given the estimated (almost) 16 million passengers per year to travel by CAI in 2017, it is safe to assume that the current facilities at the airport have the required extra processing capacity to process the estimated demand and more. Due to the lack of data available to the Consultant related to specific terminal areas, processing times, holding areas, processors, etc. – the capacity assessment for CAI has been performed by correlating the forecasted traffic (in 5-year intervals) with the declared capacity of the facilities, as presented in Table 9, and the analysis of previous studies. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 32 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS By relating the figures in the CAI Master Plan (“Consultancy Services Contract Terminal Area No. 3”, by Netherland Airports Consultants – NACO / Engineering Consultants Group - ECG) with the Passenger Forecast Summary (Table 9), it can be concluded that, following the CAI Master Plan guidelines, major investments at CAI are on track, regarding Passenger Terminal Complex capacity and facility requirements. According to the CAI Master Plan, the further pre-selected development stages are:  Stage 2/Year 2020 – Terminal 2/3 (TB-2/TB-3 operating as a unified complex) will handle 30 million passengers (the entire airport will then have a capacity of some 36.7 million annual passengers). At this point, a high-quality rail connection should be available to the airport to keep the motorized access traffic within acceptable limits. The National Airport Master Plan (NAMP), developed by the Louis Berger Group, Inc. (2006), assessed that – during the period from 2016 to 2025 – Terminal 3 at CAI would increase the operational capacity to process 27 to 32 million total annual passengers. Furthermore, the NAMP states that Terminals 2 and 3 at CAI (TB-2/TB-3) would be able to cater for approximately 36 million total passengers by year 2020 (this, based on CAI MP assessments), with rail connection to/from the Airport to ease access (Cairo Metro’s new line - Line 3 – already in execution, will link Greater Cairo from east to west, with the airport at one end, and Mohandessin district at the other). In addition, the traffic forecasted for CAI is estimated at almost 34 million passengers by year 2037. This estimated traffic projection is lesser than the declared capacity of 36 million passengers by the year 2020, which equates to enough airport terminal facilities’ capacity to process the forecasted demand throughout and up to the end of the planning period. Finally, the two new airports in the surrounding areas of Cairo that are expected to start operations in the near future should further alleviate the demand stress at CAI. The Katameya Airport and the Sphinx International Airport are both expected to share regional and charter traffic volumes with CAI. Whilst no infrastructure information – related to these new airports – has been available to the Consultant, it is expected that the capacity provided by the three aerodromes would be more than enough to absorb the traffic demand for the Greater Cairo region. As presented above, development stages met the traffic forecast estimates well, although, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at Cairo International Airport (and the region’s aerodromes) are adequate and according to the forecasted demand. As a conclusion, all major investments/improvements presented in the CAI Master Plan (by NACO/ECG) are required and are enough to cover the projected traffic growth development during the study period, providing the capacity and Level of Service adequate at each stage (every five years). It should be further noted that the planned total building area and terminal landside improvements (access and loop roads, curb lengths, car park areas, etc.), the proposed construction investments also account for volume of airport employees and passenger meeters and greeters, although current operations and security procedures at CAI limit the access of escorts to public spaces and processing areas within the Passenger Terminal Complex. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 33 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Air Cargo As noted in the study, air cargo traffic at the airports in Egypt other than Cairo International is quite minimal, accounting for significantly less than 1% of the national total and in most cases is not even reported as part of the official traffic statistics. As such, analyses related to air cargo capacity will focus on facilities at CAI. The Air Cargo facilities at CIA were not visited, nor surveyed by the Consultant Team, and the information for this analysis has been based on previous studies. The NAMP stated that the cargo village areas at CAI are comprised of an apron area, large warehouse(s), and landside auto-truck parking area. The apron area has been reported to have positions for five (5) ICAO Code D aircraft; and the warehouse area to be approximately 32,000 m2. The forecast indicates the majority of air cargo is transported via belly cargo (in the holds of commercial passenger aircraft), and only a small number of scheduled and non-scheduled all cargo flights utilize the cargo apron. As presented in the following table, cargo terminals are generally subdivided in three main categories. Table 10 – Types of Cargo Terminals TYPE DESCRIPTION Origin/Destination No cargo transfer among different aircraft “Hub” Terminal Cargo transfer among different aircraft Specially equipped terminals, capable of handling and processing specific requirements Specialty Terminal (i.e. sort express merchandise for shipping and delivery) Cargo operations at CAI are better suited under the classification “origin / destination”, due to the fact that cargo handling operations are primarily based on the transfer from cargo terminal to aircraft and vice versa. In 1993, the University of Rhine-Westphalia Airport Research Centre in Germany published a Report on Capacity Evaluation and Design Guidelines for Air Cargo Terminals. This document analyzed 24 airports around the world, each with different air cargo flow levels, and concluded that air cargo terminal operating capacities are: Origin/Destination: 5 – 15 tonnes/square metre Specialty Terminal: 5 – 10 tonnes/square metre “Hub” Terminal: 10 – 20 tonnes/square metre Also, as per IATA‘s recommendations, the size of the cargo terminal building facility is derived from the total annual cargo movement estimates. The space required is a function of the facility’s proposed processing capability. The following planning ratios can be used: Low Automation (mostly manual) 5 tonnes/square metre Automated (average) 10 tonnes/square metre Highly Automated 17 tonnes/square metre In order to calculate the capacity of the Air Cargo Terminal (Domestic and International) at CAI, an operational capacity of 7.5 ton/m2 annually was assumed, based on the fact that a mid-range (low to medium) automation operational procedure is assumed to be in place. Area Requirements are presented by planning periods in the following table. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

However, there are several elements to take into consideration, as identified in the study “Cairo Aerotropolis” (from November 2014, please refer to earlier reports included in this study for a general overview of the same). The Cairo Aerotropolis Master Plan included the development of parcels dedicated for Air Cargo (among other components). It is recommended to re-visit these guidelines (by phases, up to the year 2040) for implementation of the Air Cargo Zone (as part of the Cairo Aerotropolis), in order to be evaluated and – if needed – calibrated, to satisfy the needs of the air cargo demand, taking into consideration air cargo projections and demand triggers for its implementation. In addition, as noted previously, two new airports in the surrounding areas of Cairo are expected to start operations in the near future. Whilst these airports are expected to cater primarily to government- related traffic, it is assumed that some air cargo will be also diverted from CAI, in order to alleviate the air cargo demand stress at the existing airport. The New Administrative Capital Airport and the Sphinx International Airport are both expected to share a portion of the regional air cargo traffic volumes with CAI. It is noted that no infrastructure information – related to these new airports – has been available to the Consultant, thus this joined air cargo infrastructure capacity study is recommended to be carried out for the future. 2.4.3. Borg El-Arab International Airport For purposes of this master plan effort, it is assumed that the Alexandria International Airport (ALY) will be closed in the near future and that the Borg El-Arab Airport will service the traffic demand for the entire Alexandria region. As previously noted, due to security restrictions, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (airside and landside) at the airport. Secondary information regarding existing facilities at the airport (airside and landside) was provided to the Consultant Team based on a questionnaire index and data request sheets. In order to facilitate the presentation of the information obtained by the Consultant, a summary of the airport facilities is compiled in the following tables. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

REPORT 5 - PAGE | 36 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Airside Capacity To determine the airside facility requirements for HBE it was necessary to use international/industry- approved methods to assess the existing capacity of current airside configuration. The current Airport Reference Code for HBE is 4E, as the Code is a reflection of the physical characteristics of the airport, which are the Airside Design Standards. HBE’s physical characteristics currently meets the Airside Design Standards associated with its current Code. Any change in the Code will require modifications of the Airside Design Standards - and also - a further review of the facility requirements needed to meet the revised Airside Design Standards. As HBE comes under the guidance of ICAO, the organization’s stipulations regarding capacity assessment are to be followed, which are those contained in the United States Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Capacity and Delay, Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5060-5. For this analysis, the Hourly Capacity (HC) and the Annual Service Volume (ASV) for the Airside Components have been determined. As airport site visits were not possible (as noted earlier), the Consultant has based the analysis on the assessment of previous studies and the data provided by ECHAAN/EAC. The NAMP established the characteristics of the runway – taxiway system of HBE. The analyses presented that the HC of the system was 47 - 48 movements, with an ASV of 210,000. Having determined, as appropriate, the Hourly Capacity and ASVs for the airside components, their capacities are compared to forecasted traffic, in order to determine facility requirements – if any required. The comparative analysis, referred as a Demand/Capacity Analysis, and the resultant Facility Requirements, are presented for the HEB airfield. Table 14 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of aircraft movements (ATMs), for the peak hour and totals per year.

IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 37 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Results Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system, as well as the Annual Service Volume, it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037, projected as HC = 28 (HC capacity = 47); and ASV = 53,331 (capacity ASV = 210,000) do not exceed the current capacity of the system, therefore, capacity-enhancement improvements are not expected throughout the entire study period. As general guidelines, development plans and phasing should be linked to traffic volumes, not specific years. For example, a specific development is required when the airport has a determined amount of enplaned/deplaned passengers, not for a specific year. This approach provides flexibility and will not trigger expansion until it is actually needed. As stated previously, industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for HEB’s Runway – Taxiway System are way beyond 2037. It is also noted that the traffic projections assumed for the analyses are inclusive of the entire catchment areas covered by HEB and ALY, where HEB results more than enough to absorb the traffic demand for the entire Alexandria region. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity According to EAC’s provided data, there two (2) aprons at HEB, suitable for the accommodation of 13 aircraft, all Code C aircraft, such as the A320 or B737. Assumptions The ICAO guidance indicates Code D aircraft operating as an international flight typically have a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes, whereas a domestic flight utilizing the same aircraft would have a gate occupancy time of 45 to 50 minutes (Section 7.3, Airport Planning Manual – Part One, Master Planning (Doc 9184-AN/902 Part 1). The forecast for HEB indicates international flights will make up more than half of total flights throughout the planning period; therefore, it would be appropriate, from a gate capacity standpoint, to utilize a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes per arrival. The forecast provides Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecast data. Given the nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin – destination flights), it was safe to assume the airport has a limited number of peaks and traffic is relatively continuous. Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 174 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 15%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 16 positions (60% of 15% of 174). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in the following table. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

Results Given the current number of positions is thirteen (13), it has been estimated the demand for gate positions within the peak hour will exceed current capacity between years 2028 and 2032. To determine more specifically when this will occur, and what type of development should be implemented, will require a more detailed analysis including airline schedules and fleet mix. In addition, the demand for Remain Over Night (RON) positions must also be considered. RON positions often occupy remote parking positions; however, given the current layout and the distribution of peaks during the day, RON positions might be accounted for within the existing apron area. Terminal Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows:  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 2.25 million in the base year 2017 to around 5.5 million by 2037; more than doubling during the forecasted period. The following table presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most-likely), in terms of millions of passengers per year (MPPA).

Borg El-Arab Airport, close and well connected (via highways) to the city of Alexandria, is a natural alternate to deviate some 2nd tier-city-related flights and remaining tourism-related flights (western Mediterranean coast) in order to absorb capacity issues caused by the closing of Alexandria (Nozha) Airport, limited by the physical impossibility of airfield expansion. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 39 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Borg El-Arab’s modernization and expansion plans included the construction of a new passenger terminal – inaugurated in 2010 - with a total floor area of 21,789m², designed to handle a maximum of 4.5 million passengers per year, although the declared annual capacity (as per EAC’s data) is 1.2 MPPA. For the purposes of this analysis, the most current data provided by EAC will be utilized. Since the analysis, based on peak-hour figures would not be possible, as the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (processing times, equipment performance, etc.) at HBE, due to the fact that site visits were not permitted, the sizing of terminal areas will take into account benchmarking parameters, based on total annual passengers and overall facilities’ areas. Applying the ratios for overall space calculations, related to the figures of passenger forecast summary (most likely scenario) presented in the previous table, the following results are obtained: Table 17 – Analysis of Passenger Terminal Area Requirements for Borg El-Arab International Airport 2023- 2028- 2032- 2022 2027 2032 2037 Total Passengers (MPPA) 2,889,883 3,608,273 4,490,425 5,432,570 Ratio of Gross Terminal-Area Space Requirements per 0.01 m²/ annual pax Annual Passenger Total Area Required (passenger terminal building) 28,900 36,085 44,905 54,325 in m² Source: IOS Partners, Inc. Results As noted, capacity enhancements, in terms of new area requirements beyond the existing available terminal space of 21,790 m² are needed at HBE, in order to satisfy the projected passenger traffic demand, these could be summarized as follows: Table 18 – Terminal Area Requirements for Borg El-Arab International Airport Passenger Terminal Area Requirements Period 2017 – 2022 Additional 7,000 to 8,000 m², up to approx. 30,000 m² Period 2023 – 2027 Additional 6,000 to 7,000 m², up to approx. 37,000 m² Period 2028 – 2032 Additional 8,000 m², up to approx. 45,000 m² Period 2033 – 2037 Additional 10,000 m², up to approx. 55,000 m² Source: IOS Partners, Inc. As noted previously, the approach to assure that adequate facilities are available when needed to meet forecasted demand is to design facilities for the traffic forecasted at least 5 years in the future, as such, improvements needed by 2022 should be designed for implementation by around 2018 - 2019, providing flexibility in case of faster than projected growth. In addition, to assure that capacity limits are addressed with sufficient time to address needs before congestion develops, a flexible approach is proposed based on regular Master Plan updates and IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 40 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS including the following measure as triggers for initiating expansion improvements for passenger terminals:  Whenever 80% of the annual passenger levels of either the international or domestic passenger terminals are reached, the implementation process for increasing the domestic and/or the international terminal capacity would begin. This recognized approach takes into account the time lag between project start and availability of additional capacity for operations, which, in the case of terminal expansion, the implementation period can still take as long as 2-3 years, depending on the magnitude of such expansion. As the current declared capacity of HEB – in terms of total annual passengers - is 1.2 MPPA, lower than the estimated passenger traffic for the year 2022 (almost 2.9 MPPA) it is suggested that expansion planning processes to be started soon, for actual implementation by the expected period, in order to avoid capacity constraints and declining Level of Service at HEB’s terminal facilities. This planning process is to take into consideration three stages: short, medium and long term periods, in order to optimize the implementation of additional area requirements, according to the analyses. In addition, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at HEB (and the Alexandria region’s aerodromes) are adequate and according to the forecasted demand. 2.4.4. Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport As previously noted, due to security restrictions, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (airside and landside) at the airport. Secondary information regarding existing facilities at the airport (airside and landside) was provided to the Consultant Team based on a questionnaire index and data request sheets.

IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 42 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS The current Airport Reference Code for SSH is 4E, as the Code is a reflection of the physical characteristics of the airport, which are the Airside Design Standards. As stated in the NAMP, the current runway spacing of 450 m does not allow for independent parallel operations (approaches and departures). This limited separation impacts the dual parallel runway configuration’s overall capacity. Given the runway configuration, an assumed fleet mix of 100 – 140 and percent arrivals of 60%, the airfield should have an estimated Hourly Capacity of 46 to 48 aircraft (Figure 3-44, Chapter 3 of the referenced AC 150/5060-5), and an ASV of approximately 320,000 (Figure 2, Chapter 2 of the referenced AC). However, the lack of a parallel taxiway for the outer runway, and the rest of the airfield configuration are causes of a reduction in the estimated peak hour and annual capacities. Operational procedures to be implemented may help to mitigate the capacities issued, but this option may only be slightly more efficient than a single-runway operation. As such, assuming the operations at SSH – due to the above-mentioned constraints - as a single runway airport, the modified estimated hourly capacity - under the same assumptions - is calculated to be HC = 48 and an ASV = 220,000 (please, refer to the previously-mentioned FAA AC). Furthermore, runway crossings – due to the current airfield configuration – also imply reduction in capacity. NAMP’s analysis has estimated revised HC = 41 and ASV = 187,000, which are figures used for this airside system evaluation. Having determined, as appropriate, the Hourly Capacity and ASVs for the airside components, their capacities are compared to forecasted traffic, in order to determine facility requirements – if any required. The comparative analysis, referred as a Demand/Capacity Analysis, and the resultant Facility Requirements, are presented for the SSH airfield. Table 21 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of aircraft movements (ATMs), for the peak hour and totals per year.

Results Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system, as well as the Annual Service Volume, it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037, projected as HC = 22 (HC capacity = 41); and ASV = 61,261 (capacity ASV = 187,000) do not exceed the current capacity of the system, therefore, capacity-enhancement improvements are not expected throughout the entire study period. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 43 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS As noted previously, previously, industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for SSH’s Runway – Taxiway System are way beyond 2037. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity According to EAC’s provided data, there are five (5) aprons at SSH, suitable for the accommodation of 46 aircraft, although the category or Code of those is not specified. Assumptions The ICAO guidance indicates Code D aircraft operating as an international flight typically have a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes, whereas a domestic flight utilizing the same aircraft would have a gate occupancy time of 45 to 50 minutes (Section 7.3, Airport Planning Manual – Part One, Master Planning (Doc 9184-AN/902 Part 1). The forecast for SSH indicates international flights will make up more than 80% of total flights throughout the planning period; therefore, it would be appropriate, from a gate capacity standpoint, therefore, a 58 minute gate occupancy time has been employed (60 min x 84% + 45 min x 16%). The forecast provides Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecast data. Given the nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin – destination flights), it was safe to assume the airport has a limited number of peaks and traffic is relatively continuous, although the specific nature of the destination is conducive to tourism-dedicated charters, which usually works within the check-in/check-out time from hotels. Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the high side of the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037is 230 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 18%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 25 positions (60% of 18% of 230). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in Table 22.

Results Given the current number of positions is 46, it has been estimated the demand for gate positions within the peak hour will not exceed current capacity during the entire planning period. It is to be noted that the data available to the Consultant does not specify if all aprons are dedicated to commercial activity, and it is assumed that some of the positions will be considered remote positions (away from the IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 44 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS passenger terminal complex). In any case, since the requirements – according to the forecast – is roughly 50% of the overall current apron (five apron areas), it is assumed that the forecasted demand will not exceed the current capacity. However, in order to specifically determine exact requirements, when this will occur, and what type of development should be implemented, a more detailed analysis - including airline schedules and fleet mix – is to be performed. In addition, the demand for Remain Over Night (RON) positions must also be considered. Terminal Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows:  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 4.9 million in the base year 2017 to about 10.1 million by 2037; more than doubling the growth during the forecasted period.

SSH’s terminal complex is comprised by two (2) passenger terminal buildings, Terminal 1, which is the newer facility, commissioned and inaugurated in 2007, providing an area of 44,000 m². Terminal 2 is the original passenger terminal, renovated thru the years, with and area of 15,600 m².

This planning process is to take into consideration three stages: short, medium and long term periods, in order to optimize the implementation of additional area requirements, according to the analyses. It has been reported that in 2008, EHCAAN announced plans to build a new (third) terminal at SSH. The new terminal is (reported) planned to double the airport's capacity from 7 to 15 million passengers per IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 46 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS year. The design phase was due to be completed by early 2010 and international contractors then were invited for an open tender to construct the terminal which was scheduled to be completely constructed by 2015. However, this construction has not been done given the decline in traffic following the 2011 revolution and subsequent events. It is recommended to revisit this new passenger terminal implementation plans, including planning and design phases, in order to ensure that the new facility caters for the projected traffic demand. In addition, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at SSH are adequate and according to the forecasted demand. 2.4.5.

The current Airport Reference Code for HRG is 4F, as the Code is a reflection of the physical characteristics of the airport (and also of the aircraft permitted to land at the aerodrome), which are the Airside Design Standards. Given the runway configuration, an assumed fleet mix of 100 – 140 and percent arrivals of 60%, the airfield should have an estimated Hourly Capacity of 56 aircraft (Figure 3-44, Chapter 3 of the referenced AC 150/5060-5), and an ASV of approximately 320,000 (Figure 2, Chapter 2 of the referenced AC). However, there are some airfield elements that are causes of a reduction in the estimated peak hour and annual capacities. As stated in the NAMP, the separation between the runway 16/34 and the parallel taxiway (A) is 165 m, which is less than the ICAO standard of 182.5 m for an instrumented runway. The impact of this sub-standard separation is that aircraft cannot simultaneously operate on the runway and taxiway, the inability to utilize the runway and taxiway simultaneously is equivalent to not having a parallel taxiway at all. However, the climate and meteorological conditions associated with this runway are such that visual flight rules (VFR) conditions are prevalent. Under VFR conditions the necessity of an instrument approach to ensure landing is all but eliminated. According to ICAO standards, separation for VFR conditions, are less than the current 165 m. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 48 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Given the analysis above, it results unreasonable to severely penalize the runway – taxiway capacity, thus it was recommended the penalty (a 50% reduction in capacity) be applied only during IFR conditions and during night operations. As such, assuming the operations at HRG – due to the above-mentioned constraints - as a dual runway airport with independent operations, the modified estimated hourly capacity - under the same assumptions - is calculated to be HC = 45 and an ASV = 220,000 (please, refer to the previously- mentioned FAA AC).

Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the high side of the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 197 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 18%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 22 positions (60% of 18% of 197). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in Table 29.

Results Given that the current number of positions is 54, it has been estimated the demand for gate positions within the peak hour will not exceed current capacity during the entire planning period. It is to be noted that the data available to the Consultant does not specify if all aprons are dedicated to commercial operations, and it is assumed that some of the positions will be considered remote positions (away from the passenger terminal complex). In any case, since the requirements is less than 50% of the overall current apron capacity (three apron areas), it is assumed that the forecasted demand will not exceed the current capacity. However, in order to specifically determine exact requirements, when this will occur, and what type of development should be implemented, a more detailed analysis - including airline schedules and fleet mix – is to be performed. In addition, the demand for Remain Over Night (RON) positions should also be considered. Terminal Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows: IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 50 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 4.3 million in the base year 2017 to about 9.3 million by 2037; more than doubling the growth during the forecasted period. Table 30 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of millions of passengers per year (MPPA).

The airport currently has two (2) separate passenger terminals: Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Construction of the new terminal complex was commissioned and open to operations by the end of 2014. The passenger terminal complex provides a reported overall area of 92,000 square meters on 3 levels, with a declared capacity of 13 MPPA (as per EAC data). Since the analysis, based on peak-hour figures would not be possible, as the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (processing times, equipment performance, etc.) at HRG, due to the fact that site visits were not permitted, the sizing of terminal areas will take into account benchmarking parameters, based on total annual passengers and overall facilities’ areas. Applying the ratios for overall space calculations, related to the figures of passenger forecast summary (most likely scenario) presented in the previous table, the following results are obtained: Table 31 – Analysis of Passenger Terminal Area Requirements for Hurghada International Airport 2023- 2028- 2032- 2022 2027 2032 2037 Total Passengers (MPPA) 6,597,803 7,959,109 9,316,210 10,036,997 Ratio of Gross Terminal-Area Space Requirements per 0.01 m²/ annual pax Annual Passenger Total Area Required (passenger terminal building) 66,000 80,000 93,165 100,400 in m² Source: IOS Partners, Inc. Results As noted, capacity enhancements, in terms of new area requirements – according to the existing available (reported) terminal space of 92,000 m² - are needed at HGR, in order to satisfy the projected IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 51 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS passenger traffic demand by the last period of the study (years 2032) - 2037, these could be summarized as follows: Table 32 – Terminal Area Requirements for Hurghada International Airport Passenger Terminal Area Requirements Period 2033 – 2037 Additional 10,000 m², up to approx. 102,000 m² Source: IOS Partners, Inc. It is necessary to verify the total area provided by both terminals at HRG, as the NAMP reported that terminal 1 (older facility) provided a total area of 30,020 m² (20,720 m² existing area plus 9,300 m² of ongoing expansion – at the time of the NAMP study). It is unclear if the reported 92,000 m² of passenger area at the airport is the results of the combined surface by both facilities, or just the new area provided by the newer passenger terminal. In summary, it is needed to validate the total area of the terminal complex as a whole, whether is 92,000 m² or 122,000 m². In any case, and regardless of the total area provided by the passenger terminal complex at HRG, the approach to assure that adequate facilities are available when needed to meet forecasted demand is to design facilities for the traffic forecasted at least 5 years in the future, as such, improvements needed by 2032 should be designed for implementation by around 2023 - 2024, providing flexibility in case of faster than projected growth. In addition, to assure that capacity limits are addressed with sufficient time to address needs before congestion develops, regular Master Plan updates are proposed, including the measure as triggers for initiating expansion improvements for passenger terminals whenever 80% of the annual passenger levels of either the international or domestic passenger terminals are reached, taking into account the time lag between project start and availability of additional capacity for operations, which could take as long as 2-3 years, depending on the magnitude of such expansion. As the current declared capacity of HRG – in terms of total annual passengers - is 13 MPPA, higher than the estimated passenger traffic for the year 2037 (approximately 10 MPPA) it is suggested that expansion planning processes be observed with caution. This planning process is to take into consideration three stages: short, medium and long term periods, in order to optimize the implementation of additional area requirements, according to the analyses. In addition, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at HRG are adequate and according to the forecasted demand. 2.4.6. Marsa Alam International Airport Marsa Alam International Airport is located on the south Red Sea coast. The airport was built by private capital under a BOT contract, negotiated by M.A Al-Kharafi Group of Kuwait with the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority (under a complete BOT system), for a period of 40 years, operated by EMAK Marsa Alam for Management and Operation of Airports, a subsidiary of M.A Al-Kharafi Group. The RMF has been operational since 2003. As previously noted, due to security restrictions, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (airside and landside) at the airport. Secondary information regarding existing facilities at the airport (airside and landside) was provided to the Consultant Team based on a questionnaire index and data request sheets. In order to facilitate the presentation of the information obtained by the Consultant, a summary of the airport facilities is compiled in the following tables. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

A Google image of the airport is presented in the following figure. Figure 7: Airport Layout Plan for Marsa Alam International Airport Source: Google Earth© IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 53 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Airside Capacity In order to determine the airside facility requirements HRG, it was necessary to use international/industry-approved methods to assess the existing capacity of current airside configuration. The current Airport Reference Code for RMF is 4D, as the Code is a reflection of the physical characteristics of the airport, which are the Airside Design Standards, thus the airport is capable of serving all but the largest commercial aircraft. With the given runway configuration, an assumed fleet mix of 120, and percent arrivals of 60%, the airfield would have an estimated Hourly Capacity of 39 aircraft (Figure 3-43, Chapter 3 of the referenced AC). Such a configuration should also yield an ASV of approximately 210,000 (Figure 1, Chapter 2 of the referenced AC). However, there are some airfield elements that are causes of a reduction in the estimated peak hour and annual capacities. As stated in the NAMP, due to the absence of a full parallel taxiway it was necessary to reevaluate the issue of runway occupancy time, which was the factor most impacted by a taxiway system. The analysis performed resulted in a modified HC = 20 and an ASV = 105,000. Having determined, as appropriate, the Hourly Capacity and ASVs for the airside components, their capacities are compared to forecasted traffic, in order to determine facility requirements – if any required. The comparative analysis, referred as a Demand/Capacity Analysis, and the resultant Facility Requirements, are presented for the RMF airfield. Table 35 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of aircraft movements (ATMs), for the peak hour and totals per year. Table 35 – Summary of Projected Aircraft Movements (ATMs) for Marsa Alam International Airport PROJECTED TRAFFIC (YEARS) AIRCRAFT MOVEMENTS (ATMs) 2017 2022 2027 2032 2037 Peak Hour 7 9 11 12 13 International ATMs 6,992 10,586 12,944 15,295 16,578 Domestic ATMs 721 743 808 906 942 Total ATMs 7,713 11,329 13,753 16,201 17,521 Source: IOS Partners, Inc. Results Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system, as well as the Annual Service Volume, it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037, projected as HC = 13 (HC capacity = 20); and ASV = 17,521 (capacity ASV = 120,000) do not exceed the current capacity of the system, therefore, capacity-enhancement improvements are not expected throughout the entire study period. As noted previously, industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 54 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for RMF’s Runway – Taxiway System are way beyond 2037. However, regardless of the capacity issues, the need for taxiing on the runway will remain a safety concern. To address this issue will require the development of a full, or at least partial, parallel taxiway. If a partial parallel taxiway is to be adopted, effort should be made to ensure it serves the primary (most frequently used) runway end. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity According to EAC’s provided data, there is one (1) apron at RMF, although the capacity of the apron has not been made available. From an observation of the Google image of the airport, 10 positions are counted, however the category or Code of those cannot be determined. The NAMP stipulates that the airport – at the time of the study – had the apron area is marked for a total of eight (8) power in – power out aircraft parking positions. For the purposes of this analysis, 8 aircraft positions are assumed as the current capacity of the apron. Assumptions The ICAO guidance indicates Code D aircraft operating as an international flight typically have a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes, whereas a domestic flight utilizing the same aircraft would have a gate occupancy time of 45 to 50 minutes (Section 7.3, Airport Planning Manual – Part One, Master Planning (Doc 9184-AN/902 Part 1). The forecast for RMF indicates international flights will make up for almost the entirety of total flights throughout the planning period; therefore, it would be conservative, from a gate capacity standpoint, to utilize a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes per arrival. The forecast provides Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecast data. Given the nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin – destination flights), it was safe to assume the airport has a limited number of peaks and traffic is relatively continuous, although the specific nature of the destination is conducive to tourism-dedicated charters, which usually works within the check-in/check-out time from hotels. Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the high side of the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 60 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 18%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 7 positions (60% of 18% of 60). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in Table 36.

It is to be noted that the data available to the Consultant is not complete. However, in order to specifically determine exact requirements, when this will occur, and what type of development should be implemented, a more detailed analysis - including airline schedules and fleet mix – is to be performed.

Terminal Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows:  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 1 million in the base year 2017 to about 2.6 million by 2037; more than doubling the growth during the forecasted period.

As noted previously, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities at RMF, in addition, EAC data was not available for the passenger terminal complex at the airport. The NAMP describes the RMF terminal as a modular design, with a total floor area of 7,000 m², with a nominal capacity declared to reach 600 passenger/hour in Phase I (already built and operating) which can be easily expanded to 25,000 m², in order to accommodate up to 2,500 passenger/hour in the ultimate development. Since the analysis, based on peak-hour figures would not be possible, as the Consultant Team was not able to visit the facilities, the sizing of terminal areas will take into account benchmarking parameters, based on total annual passengers and overall facilities’ areas. Applying the ratios for overall space calculations, related to the figures of passenger forecast summary (most likely scenario) presented in the previous table, the following results are obtained: IOS PARTNERS, INC.

It is necessary to verify the total area provided by the passenger terminal complex at RMF, as the NAMP reported areas could not be verified by EAC nor by site visits. It is unclear if the original (Phase I) terminal is still currently operating or if expansions and/or modifications have been implemented lately. In summary, it is needed to validate the total area of the terminal complex at Marsa Alam International Airport. In any case, and regardless of the total area provided by the passenger terminal complex at RMF, since this is a BOT Airport, under private operation, with a defined area growth planned by development stages, the recommendation is to monitor closely the growth trends in passenger and operations, to assure that capacity limits are addressed with sufficient time to cover needs before congestion develops, observing the 80% rule trigger (explained before) for initiating expansion improvements for the passenger terminal, taking into consideration that there is a time lag between project start and availability of additional capacity for operations. In the case of terminal expansion can take as long as 2-3 years. This planning process is to take into consideration three stages: short, medium and long term periods, in order to optimize the implementation of additional area requirements, according to the analyses. In addition, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at RMF are adequate and according to the forecasted demand.

Results Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system, as well as the Annual Service Volume, it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037, projected as HC = 16 (HC capacity = 50); and ASV = 6,184 (capacity ASV = 195,000) do not exceed the current capacity of the system, therefore, capacity-enhancement improvements are not expected throughout the entire study period. As noted previously, industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for ATZ’s Runway – Taxiway System are way beyond 2037. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity According to EAC’s provided data, there two (2) aprons at ATZ, suitable for the accommodation of 7 aircraft. Assumptions The forecast for ATZ indicates international flights will make up more than 95% of total flights throughout the planning period; therefore, applying the methodology used previously in this study, it would be appropriate and conservative, from a gate capacity standpoint, to utilize a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes per arrival. The forecast provides Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecast data. Given the nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin – destination flights), it was safe to assume the airport has a limited number of peaks and traffic is relatively continuous. Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 91 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 15%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 9 positions (60% of 15% of 91).

Results As noted, in terms of area requirements, 8,000 m² of available passenger terminal area will suffice for the entire study period. It is necessary to verify the total area provided by the passenger terminal complex at ATZ, to assure that capacity limits are addressed with sufficient time to cover needs before congestion develops, observing the 80% rule trigger (explained before) for initiating expansion improvements for the passenger terminal, taking into consideration that there is a time lag between project start and availability of additional capacity for operations. In the case of terminal expansion can take as long as 2-3 years. This planning process is to take into consideration three stages: short, medium and long term periods, in order to optimize the implementation of additional area requirements, according to the analyses. Furthermore, the declared annual capacity at ATZ has been reported as 1.2 million passengers per year (as per EAC data). This implies that the passenger facilities provided at ATZ will suffice to process the projected traffic demand throughout the entire study period. In addition, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at ATZ are adequate and according to the forecasted demand. 2.4.8. Sohag International Airport Sohag International Airport (HMB) is an airport serving the capital of the Sohag Governorate of Egypt. The airport is 24 km south of the city and was officially inaugurated on May 2010. As previously noted, due to security restrictions, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (airside and landside) at the airport. Secondary information regarding existing facilities at the airport (airside and landside) was provided to the Consultant Team based on a questionnaire index and data request sheets. To facilitate the presentation of the information obtained by the Consultant, a summary of the airport facilities is compiled in the following tables. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

REPORT 5 - PAGE | 63 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Airside Capacity In order to determine the airside facility requirements HMB, it was necessary to use international/industry-approved methods to assess the existing capacity of current airside configuration. The current Airport Reference Code for HMB is 4D, as the Code is a reflection of the physical characteristics of the airport, which are the Airside Design Standards, thus the airport is capable of serving all but the largest commercial aircraft. With the given runway configuration, the airfield would have an estimated Hourly Capacity of 39 aircraft (Figure 3-43, Chapter 3 of the referenced AC). Such a configuration should also yield an ASV of approximately 210,000 (Figure 1, Chapter 2 of the referenced AC). However, there are some airfield elements that are causes of a reduction in the estimated peak hour and annual capacities. Due to the absence of a full parallel taxiway it was necessary to reevaluate the issue of runway occupancy time, which was the factor most impacted by a taxiway system. The analysis performed resulted in a modified HC = 20 and an ASV = 105,000. Having determined, as appropriate, the Hourly Capacity and ASVs for the airside components, their capacities are compared to forecasted traffic, in order to determine facility requirements – if any required. The comparative analysis, referred as a Demand/Capacity Analysis, and the resultant Facility Requirements, are presented for the HMB airfield. Table 48 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of aircraft movements (ATMs), for the peak hour and totals per year.

Results Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system, as well as the Annual Service Volume, it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037, projected as HC = 8 (HC capacity = 20); and ASV = 9,639 (capacity ASV = 120,000) do not exceed the current capacity of the system, therefore, capacity-enhancement improvements are not expected throughout the entire study period. As noted previously, industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for HMB’s Runway – Taxiway System are way beyond 2037. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 64 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS However, regardless of the capacity issues, the need for taxiing on the runway will remain a safety concern. To address this issue will require the development of a full, or at least partial, parallel taxiway. If a partial parallel taxiway is to be adopted, effort should be made to ensure it serves the primary (most frequently used) runway end. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity According to EAC’s provided data, there is one (1) apron at HMB, suitable for the accommodation of 4 Category C aircraft. Assumptions The forecast for HMB indicates international flights will make up more than 95% of total flights throughout the planning period; therefore, applying the methodology used previously in this study, it would be appropriate and conservative, from a gate capacity standpoint, to utilize a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes per arrival. The forecast provides Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecast data. Given the nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin – destination flights), it was safe to assume the airport has a limited number of peaks and traffic is relatively continuous. Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 30 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 15%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 3 positions (60% of 15% of 91). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in Table 49.

It is to be noted that the data available to the Consultant does not specify if all aprons are dedicated to commercial activity. In any case, since the requirements – according to the forecast – are very close to the overall current apron capacity, it is recommended a more detailed study, in order to specifically determine exact requirements, when this will occur, and what type of development should IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 65 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS be implemented. This evaluation - including airline schedules and fleet mix – is to be performed, including the demand for Remain Over Night (RON) positions. Terminal Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows:  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 500,000 in the base year 2017 to about 1.2 million by 2037; more than doubling the growth during the forecasted period.

Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 56 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 15%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in year 2037 will be 6 positions (60% of 15% of 56). The forecast for gate positions, based on various estimates of peak hour demand, throughout the project period is presented in the following table.

IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 74 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS Results Given that the current number of positions is 28, it has been estimated the demand for gate positions within the peak hour (6) will not exceed current capacity throughout the study period. It is to be noted that the data available to the Consultant does not specify if all aprons are dedicated to commercial activity, and it is assumed that some of the positions – if not all - will be considered remote positions (away from the passenger terminal complex). In any case, since the requirements – according to the forecast – is much less than 50% of the overall current apron (four apron areas), it is assumed that the forecasted demand will not exceed the current capacity. However, in order to specifically determine exact requirements, when this will occur, and what type of development should be implemented, a more detailed analysis - including airline schedules and fleet mix – is to be performed. In addition, the demand for Remain Over Night (RON) positions should also be considered. Terminal Capacity Based on the traffic projections, presented in the Report 2 (of this study), the results for the Medium Scenario (most-likely) can be summarized as follows:  Total passengers are forecasted to increase from about 460,000 in the base year 2017 to about 865,000 by 2037; almost doubling the growth during the forecasted period. Table 62 presents the forecasted scenario, for the different periods, under the Medium Scenario (most- likely), in terms of millions of passengers per year (MPPA).

Results As noted, capacity enhancements, in terms of new area requirements – according to the reported existing available terminal space of 30,500 m² (dedicated to passenger services) - are not needed at ASW, in order to satisfy the projected passenger traffic demand, throughout the entire study period. Furthermore, the current declared capacity of ASW – in terms of total annual passengers - is 2.5 MPPA, higher than the estimated passenger traffic for the year 2037 (approximately 865,000), which confirms the provision of sufficient capacity at the passenger terminal complex. In order to ensure that capacity limits are addressed with sufficient time to address needs before congestion develops, regular Master Plan updates are proposed, including the measure as triggers for initiating expansion improvements for passenger terminals whenever 80% of the annual passenger levels of either the international or domestic passenger terminals are reached, taking into account the time lag between project start and availability of additional capacity for operations, which could take as long as 2-3 years, depending on the magnitude of such expansion. In addition, it should be noted that periodic investigations through passenger/aircraft/operations traffic study and updates of the Master Plan shall be conducted - at least - every five (5) year intervals to ensure that provided Level of Service and capacity/requirements in the Passenger Terminal Complex at ASW are adequate and according to the forecasted demand. 2.4.11. Abu Simbel Airport Abu Simbel Airport (ABS) is a classical tourism destination, located in Upper Egypt, jointly with Luxor and Aswan conforms the southern triangle of airports in the country. As previously noted, due to security restrictions, the Consultant Team was not able to survey the facilities (airside and landside) at the airport. Secondary information regarding existing facilities at the airport (airside and landside) was provided to the Consultant Team based on a questionnaire index and data request sheets. In order to facilitate the presentation of the information obtained by the Consultant, a summary of the airport facilities is compiled in the following tables.

Airside Capacity Figure 12: Airport Layout Plan for Abu Simbel Airport In order to determine the airside facility requirements ABS, it was necessary to use international/industry-approved methods to assess the existing capacity of current airside configuration. The current Airport Reference Code for ABS is 4D, as the Code is a reflection of the physical characteristics of the airport, which are the Airside Design Standards, thus the airport is capable of serving the majority of aircraft, except the larger ones. With the given runway configuration, the airfield would have an estimated Hourly Capacity of 50 aircraft (Figure 3-43, Chapter 3 of the referenced AC). Such a configuration should also yield an ASV of approximately 195,000 (Figure 1, Chapter 2 of the referenced AC). Having determined, as appropriate, the Hourly Capacity and ASVs for the airside components, their capacities are compared to forecasted traffic, in order to determine facility requirements – if any required.

Results Having established the Hourly Capacity of the runway-taxiway system, as well as the Annual Service Volume, it is understood that the projected demand volumes for the year 2037, projected as HC = 10 (HC capacity = 50); and ASV = 4,237 (capacity ASV = 195,000) do not exceed the current capacity of the system, therefore, capacity-enhancement improvements are not expected throughout the entire study period. As noted previously, industry practice is to begin planning for the expansion or replacement of facilities when they are expected to reach 60% of their capacity, with construction of the capacity enhancements underway before 80% of capacity is reached. As a result of the application of this principle, the “demand triggers” for the planning and construction of capacity related improvements for ABS’s Runway – Taxiway System are way beyond 2037. Aircraft Parking Apron and Gate Capacity According to EAC’s provided data, there is one apron at ABS, suitable for the accommodation of 8 aircraft, in a mix of 5 aircraft Category C and 5 aircraft Category B and below, which could convert into 3 more positions for Category C aircraft. Assumptions The forecast for ABS indicates only domestic flights throughout the planning period; applying the methodology used previously in this study, it would be appropriate and conservative, from a gate capacity standpoint, to utilize a gate occupancy time of 60 minutes per arrival. The forecast provides Average Day Peak Month (ADPM) forecast data. Given the nature of the traffic utilizing the airport (origin – destination flights), it was safe to assume the airport has a limited number of peaks and traffic is relatively continuous. Therefore, the peak hour traffic has been assumed to be in the range of 12% to 18% of the ADPM. The figure of 60% arrivals within the Peak Hour was also applied, as a conservative parameter. Analysis The ADPM for the airport in the forecast year 2037 is 19 ATMs. Using the assumptions discussed above, including a Peak Hour Traffic as 15%, the peak hour demand for gate (aircraft parking) positions in IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 78 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS year 2037 will be 2 positions (60% of 15% of 19).

As such, capacity and requirements evaluation for these small IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 84 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS airports is not relevant. Besides, even in cases where individual small airports could experience more significant traffic growth during the study, in none of these cases are traffic levels expected to exceed historical high levels at the same airport. 2.5. PRELIMINARY INVESTMENT PROGRAM Preliminary investment schedules and costing were prepared for those airports that require significant capacity related improvements/new construction areas according to the demand/capacity assessment presented in the previous section. Though it has been recommended that the construction or extension of parallel taxiways at certain airports be studied, these potential projects have not been included in this investment plan. The airports that require major capacity related investments over the next 20 years are:  Borg El Arab (HBE)  Sharm El Sheik (SSH)  Hurghada (HRG)  Marsa Alam (RMF)  Aysut (ATZ) It was not possible to include a comprehensive list of major rehabilitation or replacement projects because the Consultant was not provided with information on the condition of existing infrastructure and equipment and was not able to verify this condition through site visits. Having said that, it is possible to predict the overall rehabilitation requirements for airside pavements (runways, taxiways, aprons) that will likely be required during the 20-year planning period, even if not the exact timing of these investments. These periodic major maintenance CAPEX have been estimated for each of the large and medium airports. For purposes of this preliminary investment plan, parametric capital investment costs per square meter were estimated that incorporate:  Construction (materials and labor)  Electromechanical and other major equipment  Design and engineering,  Project management and construction supervision  Contingency The cost estimates are based on 2018 prices, not including the impact of depreciation, inflation, interest payments, land acquisition and building furniture. The parametric unit price for terminal building construction and expansion was calculated with regards to investment costs associated with the recent construction of the Cairo International Airport Terminal 3 (TB-3). The cost per square meter of that project was $1791 (once the IT/ELV portion of the project is deducted).4 This was rounded up to $1800 and further 20% contingency was added to obtain a parametric unit cost of $2160 per sqm. The estimated unit price for the rehabilitation of airside pavements is based on the recently completed project for the upgrade, rehabilitation and resurfacing of Runway 05R/23L at Cairo airport, with total cost of around $30m. This translates into approximately $110 per square meter for asphalt pavement. The Consulting Team’s experience at other Egyptian airports would indicate that the reinforced concrete pavement is generally around 20% more expensive relative to the asphalt and thus it should be around $132 per square meter. 4 Cost information for the TB3 project was obtained from the World Bank’s “Implementation and Completion Report” IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 85 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS The estimated cost for the construction of new concrete apron areas is estimated at $198 per sqm; also based on the Consulting Team’s experience with this type of construction in Egypt, as well as the current 2018 prices of the basic components of the construction materials; primarily cement, aggregates and reinforcing steel. For each airport, a table is presented that includes units, quantities, unit costs and total costs (in 2018 USD) for each project. This is followed by a table summarizing the costs and phasing of airports improvements.

The new terminal was (reportedly) planned to double the airport's capacity from 7.5 to 15 million passengers per year. The design phase was due to be completed by early 2010 and international contractors then were invited for an open tender to construct the terminal which was scheduled to be completely constructed by 2015. However, this project has not been carried out do to the decline in air traffic at the airport during the current decade. While SSH experienced some loss of traffic after the 2011 and 2013 revolutions, it was after the downing of a Russian Charter flight in late 2015 and ban on Russian visitors that traffic declined very significantly. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 88 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS The master-plan presented in this report would indicate that a phased approach to a third terminal project may be justified. As it would not be practical to construct only the required 4000 sqm of new terminal in the very short-term, an alternative approach would involve an initial construction of approximately 18,000 sqm over the medium-term, followed by an additional 23,000 m2 to be constructed between 2028 and 2037, should traffic growth approximate the forecast used in this study. The cost of the initial phase of construction of the third terminal would be estimated at $38.8 million. 2.5.3. Hurghada (HRG) The primary capacity related investment project identified for HRG are: 1- Passenger Terminal a. Development Stage – Years 2033 – 2037 i. Additional 10,000 m², up to approx. 102,000 m² of terminal area It is important to note that this project depends on first verifying the total area provided by both terminals at HRG. The NAMP reported that Terminal 1 (older facility) had a total area of 30,020 m² (20,720 m² existing area plus 9,300 m² of ongoing expansion – at the time of the NAMP study). From the information received from EAC, it is unclear if the reported 92,000 m² of passenger area at the airport is the result of the combined surface of both facilities, or just the new area provided by the newer passenger terminal. In summary, it is necessary to validate whether the total currently operational area of the terminal complex is 92,000 m² or 122,000 m². If the existing area is the later, then this project would no longer be necessary. The following table presents an estimate of the costs of this project, should it be necessary: Table 77 – Hurghada - List of Required Major Capacity Investments Unit Cost Year Facility Area (m2) Total in USD Total in EGP (USD) 2033-2037 Passenger Terminal 10000 $1.160,00 $21.600.000 388.800.000 Total $18.000.000 388.800.000 The overall investment plan would total over USD $21.6 million (or EGP 388,8 million) in 2018 prices and would be required during the 2032-2037 period.

Marsa Alam (RMF) The primary capacity related investment projects identified for RMF are: 1- Passenger Terminal a. Development Stage – Years 2017 – 2022 i. Additional 4,000 m², up to approx. 11,000 m² of terminal area b. Development Stage – Years 2023 – 2027 i. Additional 5,000 m², up to approx. 16,000 m² of terminal area c. Development Stage – Years 2028 – 2032 i. Additional 4,000 m², up to approx. 20,000 m² of terminal area d. Development Stage – Years 2033 – 2037 i. Additional 4,000 m², up to approx. 24,000 m² of terminal area As was the case with HRG, it is necessary to verify the total operational area provided by the passenger terminal complex at RMF. The NAMP reported areas could not be verified by EAC nor by site visits. It is unclear if the original (Phase I) terminal is still currently operating or if expansions and/or modifications have been implemented lately. In summary, it would be important to validate the total area of the terminal complex at Marsa Alam International Airport. The following tables present an estimate of the costs and timing of each of these projects, assuming that the terminal area identified in the NAMP remains unchanged.

Overall Investment Plan The table on the following page provides a summary of the overall investment plan for the airport system, including both capacity related facility expansions and major rehabilitation works. As note previously, this investment plan does not include the following due to lack of sufficient data to estimate requirements: 1- Any major expansion or rehabilitation works at the Small Airports (which should be minimized). 2- Any investments required to meet regulatory and safety considerations. The timing of the rehabilitation investments is only estimated for purposes of this analysis based on the use-life of the different types of airside pavements. The timing of these investments will likely need to be adjusted based on the current condition of pavements and any existing maintenance plans. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 95 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 3. PPP PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT 3.1. PPP SCREENING METHODOLOGY The objective of this activity was to screen potential projects in the Egyptian Airport sector in terms of the applicability of utilizing different PPP modalities from the point of view of both the Government and the private sector. This screening process is utilized to then select a pipeline of potential PPP projects that will be further evaluated in Task 6 of this study. The IOS Partners Team has developed and applied a tool that permits recording critical information for prospective PPP projects that facilitated their screening in accordance with criteria eventually agreed for ranking/ selecting projects for further development. This tool consists of a model that the consulting team has used for systematically organizing collected data and rating each potential project according to specific criteria and variables. The following figure illustrates the overall approach to assessing potential PPP projects. The application of Step 1 for the initial screening of projects is carried out in this report, while Steps 2, 3 and 4 will be applied to the projects that pass this first screening as part of the subsequent task and included in Report 6. Figure 13: Overall Approach to PPP Project Assessment Step 2: Step 1: Step 3: Do PPP options satisfy Step 4: Screen Potential PPP Will private sector objectives given the Rank in order Projects (PS) accept risk? constraints identified? Criteria: Yes Corporatization No Goverment = 2 • Consitent with government Yes PS = 2 development strategy Yes O&M contract No Total = 4 • Technically feasible No • Satisfy future demand Yes • Financially feasible Yes Goverment = 1 Mgmt contrat • Minimize cost to government No No PS = 1 • Increase efficiency and Yes Total = 2 capabilities Yes BOT Concession No • Ease of implementation No • Ensure continuity of service Yes • Attractive for private investors Divestiture No PROJECT Determining project eligibility and selection is a fundamental component of any PPP program. If a program is too rigid in its eligibility criteria, then the opportunity for capturing the highest number of viable projects is lessened. If the PPP program is too loosely designed, the risk of selecting unacceptable or overly risky projects is heightened. This methodology provides a practical and highly effective model for identifying, screening and ranking PPP projects in the airport sector, allowing a determination of the weight assigned to given priorities, that include financial and economic viability, socioeconomic impact, required government support, potential risks and risk allocation, and project readiness. Any potential PPP project must meet basic criteria for affordability, bankability and Value for Money. Several criteria can be defined for prioritization. However, it is important to consider the relevance of the information available and the feasibility of covering all the priorities that the PPPs can be expected IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 96 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS to serve. The screening criteria methodology is structured to consider variables that match each of the key objectives of the PPP program, as follows: 1. Fit with Egypt’s national development priorities and expected project impact in terms of the need for the infrastructure service to be provided o Project consistent future development requirements o Impact on government budgets for the airport sector (project minimizes requirement for government financing and subsidies; or maximizes potential income from the activity that can be applied to other less financially self-sufficient airports) o Project will lead to gains in operational efficiency and human resources capacities 2. Technical Feasibility o Project meets existing and future demand o Project is a technically viable solution o Project complies with social and environmental standards 3. Financial Feasibility o Project is structured to be affordable, bankable and not rely on sovereign guarantees o Project can generate enough revenue to cover investment and operating costs, with acceptable rates of return on investment o Project can lead to improved cost recovery 4. Ease of Implementation o Extent of challenges could hinder project implementation (e.g. ability to obtain land and required permits, need for any legal or regulatory changes, project size and/or technical difficulty, etc.) o Ensure continuity of service 5. Private sector attractiveness: ability and interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake the project and/or provide necessary financing. Particularly important is to identify key risks to potential investors associated with the project and to measure these against potential rewards. Two levels of indicators have been defined based on the above list. First, in this report as part of the Step 1 screening, “main criteria” have been identified that will serve as the basis for the development of a list of priority projects to the extent possible at this stage of availability of information, to cover all the essential characteristics of a priority PPP project. The projects that pass this first hurdle will then be subject to a more detailed analysis in Report 6 that includes a more complete financial modeling of different potential PPP alternative schemes applicable at the targeted airports. In effect, the main criteria evaluated in the initial screening cover the questions addressed by these other criteria more generally, while the final assessment in Task 6 addressed these questions in much greater detail. Five (5) main criteria are defined. Each is assigned a weight according to its relative importance; the total points of all these criteria being 100. The following table summarizes the weights assigned to each criterion. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

A lack of enough detailed financial and other information has made it difficult to consider the smaller of the airports operated by EAC. Therefore, the focus has been on the large and medium airports for which it was possible to carry out at least a preliminary evaluation of each of the screening criteria. This includes airports that required capacity related investments, and/or those for which it has only been possible to estimate major airfield rehabilitation and resurfacing costs. The specific airports included in this initial screening are:  Borg El-Arab (HBE), serving the Alexandria area  Sharm El Sheik (SSH), serving the primary tourism destination in South Sinai  Hurghada (HRG), serving the primary tourism destination on the Red Sea  Aysut (AZT), serving the Nile Region  Sohag (HMB), serving the Nile Region  Luxor (LXR), in Upper Egypt  Aswan (ASW) in Upper Egypt  Abu Simbel (ABS)  Cairo (CAI) The one medium sized airport for which insufficient financial data was made available to apply the screening criteria was Marsa Alam (RMF). But this airport is currently being operated under an ongoing BOT concession agreement. As noted in Report 3 of the study, the EAC reported during interviews carried out by the Consultant that the concession has been relatively successful up to the present. Though this initial screening treats each airport as a separate potential PPP project, possible groupings of these airports will be considered as part of the detailed evaluation of the PPP pipeline in Task 6. It should be noted that the focus of this analysis has been on identifying PPP’s at the airport level. The CAC does participate in several PPPs for the provision of specific services, such as the cargo concession and the operation of the train that connects the three passenger terminals. 3.2. STEP ONE FINANCIAL SCREENING 3.2.1. Approach In order to apply the Step-One screening for three of the five primary criteria outlined in the previous section, rough cash flow models were prepared for each of the airports that represent potential PPP projects. The purpose is to first evaluate their financial capacity and sustainability under the projected current investment regimes. The models represent the view of the government owner (EAC or CAC), either for its own continued operation, or as a precursor to a public sector comparator it would use if for a PPP transaction. Full IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 98 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS cash flow analyses will later be prepared for each alternate PPP scheme for those projects that pass this first step of the screening process as part of Task 6. As part of this first step screening,  Under Meeting Government Objectives, one of the sub-criteria is the extent to which each airport provides a scenario of required infrastructure financing from the private sector. This would include the extent to which the airport (or EAC) can finance the required investments in the first place – because as long as sovereign budget is not burdened, external or third-party engagement would not be needed; assuming the priority was not to just add management capacity. The cash flow modelling helped to show whether ample coverage remains after operations for financing investments of capex.  For the Financial Feasibility criteria, there is a limit to what can be surmised without carrying out a fuller financial analysis as called for in Task 6. But from this Task 5 cash flow modelling, sufficient implications can be drawn that a project would be financially feasible, even before growth of revenue and/or efficiencies in operational expenditures are evaluated.  For Private Sector Attractiveness, the initial financial modelling assists in commenting on the ability and interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake the project and/or provide necessary financing. Providing a picture of debt service coverage-ability (and quality of sustainable revenue resource therein) assists the conversation concerning likely debt/equity ratio, ease of debt financing without extensive credit enhancements and controls, and complex financial engineering. These aspects don’t mean to diminish the importance of the balance of the risk matrices for private sector attractiveness – that in addition to the financing risks require due-diligence. If for example a majority of traffic is supplied by a national low-cost carrier, the traffic and revenue base although apparently sustainable is certainly not diversified for risk purposes. The following describes the development of the preliminary cash flow models used at this stage of study.  From the (pre-2017) financial data provided by EAC for the airports, appropriate accounting years were selected for purposes of extrapolation for the investment horizons shown in the Preliminary Investment Program presented in Section 2.5 of this report. The accounting years were evaluated for stability. In the case of HRG, while three years of accounting data may have been provided by the EAC up to 2016 inclusive, only 2014 and 2016 were chosen because those showed stabilization while 2015 data was entirely inconsistent.  Using the data for a base year of 2017, and ratios for financial performance for extrapolation were computed: o Averages of %-growth or %-revenue ratios for each line item of revenue, grants and subsidy (which were insignificant), operating costs, depreciation, consumption, and undefined burdens and losses were applied to the accounting years data selected by IOS, to arrive at values for these same line items for the 2017 base year. o For example, in the case of HBE, a 2017 base year revenue of LE 406,471,963 was calculated by multiplying the average of 15% + 19% growth for 2015 and 2016, respectively, i.e. 17% of growth to the 2016-year revenue of 347,411,934. o Similarly, 2017 operating costs of LE 183,463,698 resulted from multiplying the average of 8% + .11% i.e. an average 4% efficiency gain over the two years, times the 2016-line item for operating costs.  For the cash flow, the 16-year period between 2022 and 2037 (inclusive) was modelled; this matches the investment horizon utilized for the master planning exercise. Going out to 2022, it was assumed that the same operating policy reflected in the operating data for the airports has IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 99 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS been stabilized pre-2017 and can be projected out to 2022, only three years from this writing. Year 2022 is also not an unreasonable expectation for the first year of a PPP transaction.  The analysis of the cash flows focuses on yearly EBITDA performance (free cash flow, before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization accounting charges, but after capex estimates). It is the standard parameter for measuring financial operating performance and sustainability of both public and private operators of commercial airports.  To extrapolate the cash flow, each subsequent year’s revenue and operating cost is a product of the prior year revenue and operating cost and the ratio of traffic growth as projected to the subsequent year, as shown in the traffic forecasts presented in Report 2 of this study. o For example, in HBE, the 2022 revenue of LE 522M results from multiplying the 2017 revenue by 1.28 which is the ratio of traffic growth from 2017 to 2022.  The analysis is crude. The forecasted traffic growth rates for each year after 2022 does not vary within each five-year span that makes up the 15 years up through 2037. As a result, the EBITDA’s are also equal each year within each of those five-year spans. The extrapolations may be viewed as conservative however, not overstated, as applying the same growth ratios to costs year on year does not account for likely efficiencies that rationally will occur. Also, as discussed in Report 2, EAC journals an item on the accounting ledger named ‘Burdens and Losses’ as a part of operating costs, that is not insignificant. Requests for clarification were made to determine its makeup, without response. Conservatively for this analysis, the costs were maintained – but ordinarily it would be assumed that burdens are likely a form of capitalization – such as loans and commitments and should not be deducted when reflecting free cash flow. (The journal item is discussed more in detail in Report 6).  All accounting data for the EAC airports used were in current LE, unadjusted for any devaluation. (The accounting statements for CAC indicated charges (losses) for apparent currency devaluation, while the EAC data provided did not state such charges explicitly.) The $US capex estimates used in the analyses were adjusted to LE using the current (“devalued”) exchange rate – thus making the analyses for EAC airports even more conservative. The results of the preliminary cash flow analysis for each of the EAC airports that require capacity investments are summarized below. The following is noted first, regarding EAC’s 2015 consolidated statements, which indicates EAC overall dependence on just a few of the subject airports going forward (this is separate from the “free cash flow” issue, to help judge from some of the clues available in the accounting data). We are cautioned to screen any one individual airport on its own in a vacuum, without noting a single PPP transaction’s ramification on the EAC as a whole (this issue will be treated in greater detail in Report 6):  The total magnitude of ’Burdens and Losses’ shown in the income statements of all airports in EAC appear to reconcile with the total short- and long-term commitments that are owed ...  E.g. annual Burdens and Losses for the airports are seen in the LE 75-100M range ...  Long-term Loans and Commitments (from the Balance Sheet) total LE 2.6B …  A quick calculation of what would “service” the LT Loan and Commitments for say an average loan life of 12 years at 8%, would be 270M. For 25 years, 190M. The three healthiest airports below, together fulfil such servicing.  Total Current Liabilities amount to LE 4B; EAC owes suppliers LE 2.6B; the total of “labor costs”, “resources, fuel, oil, spare-parts”, and “other expenses” (being in the mid 40’s e.g. for HBE) across the airports is paying suppliers what is owed.  Short-term Assets exist; Cash is at .8B, and Reserves also .8B; a total of “Liquid” assets is 1.9B (1B being in securities, the remaining in receivables); IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 100 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS  A quick ratio can be calculated to see if a company can honor its short term commitments with its liquid assets. By adding cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and current receivables together then dividing them by current liabilities, a ratio is determined. For the consolidated EAC, not counting a valuation of the market securities (i.e. using the 1B), the ratio is .625. In other words it can’t cover the total of s.t. commitments with liquid assets on hand, were they all called. Reuters reports that the sector average is 2.0. (Adding the 1B in securities, the ratio goes up to .875).  Having said all this – the preliminary cash flow analyses as explained below clearly indicate sufficient capacity going forward to cover all capex financing after operations with ample reserves remaining; in fact EAC total should be adding ample cash on hand in a short period of time. (This is consistent with IOS’s comments on the ability of EAC as a whole to profit in the projected years – as discussed in Task 2).  (Indications of “equity” in the balance sheet are ignored because it makes no provision for accumulated depreciation against LE 8B in fixed assets.) 3.2.2. Borg El-Arab Airport (HBE) The conclusions of the preliminary cash flow analysis for HBE carried out as part of this Step One screening are as follows: Under Meeting Government Objectives,  From the analysis, HBE projects a solid financial condition over the period. All of the $73M + capex projected in Table 72 of this report (divided by five in each of the five-year spans) is financeable off the balance sheet requiring no debt, with robust reserves remaining. Only in year one 2022 does HBE run a deficit, and that is immediately taken up by ample surplus in 2023. A scenario of required infrastructure financing from the private sector clearly doesn’t exist. For the Financial Feasibility criteria,  HBE shows an EBITDA of 67% when well performing operations globally operate at 35%. At an average annual LE 487M ($27M) it has plenty of capacity to service total credit accounts and long-term loans – the balance of which for EAC consolidated as of the end of 2015 stood at LE 2.6B (explained more in detail above). The account “Burdens and Losses” represents that much more of free cash flow that, at least in part, increases EBITDA further. It is consistently at around LE 80M-100M. As discussed, the total amount conservatively, along with “Headquarters Share Expense” and the Table 72 capex were subtracted from the EBITDA for net annual cash flow. For Private Sector Attractiveness,  Given the above it is reasonable to conclude that from a financial perspective there is ability and interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake a project and/or provide necessary financing … were the government of a mind to transact in the first place – and were financing even required, which it is not. The projected capex is entirely financed with cash surplus, and the private partner would earn a management fee – not taking financing risk. The “debt” service coverage-ability suggests a well leveraged debt/equity ratio at favourable terms for investor returns without having to arrange complex credit enhancements, in the event of higher levels of capex if anticipated. Given the relatively conservative nature of the traffic forecasts used in this analysis, these results can also be considered sufficiently robust to offset any reasonable level of risk associated with future demand and/or quality of sustainable revenue resource. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 101 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS 3.2.3. Sharm El-Sheik Airport (SSH) The conclusions of the preliminary cash flow analysis for SSH carried out as part of Step One screening are as follows: Under Meeting Government Objectives,  From the analysis, SSH projects equally robust operating margins compared with HBE. All of the nearly $89M capex projected in Table 74 of this report (divided by five in each of the five-year spans) is financeable off the balance sheet requiring no debt, with robust reserves remaining. In no years does SSH run a deficit. Like HBE, a scenario of required infrastructure financing from the private sector doesn’t exist. For the Financial Feasibility criteria,  SSH’s EBITDA of 67%, lower operating costs compared to HBE, and average annual LE 885M ($50M) provide more than ample capacity to service total credit accounts and long-term loans for its share of the consolidated LE 2.6B explained above. Net annual cash flow following assumed total debt service adds to reserves year-on-year. (The income statement account items “Burdens and Losses” and “Headquarters Share Expense” were treated the same as described for HBE above.) For Private Sector Attractiveness,  Same as HBE, from a financial perspective there is ability and interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake a project and/or provide necessary financing … were the government of a mind to transact in the first place – and were financing even required, which it is not. The projected capex is entirely financed with cash surplus, and the private partner would earn a management fee – not taking financing risk. The “debt” service coverage-ability suggests a well leveraged debt/equity ratio at favorable terms for investor returns without having to arrange complex credit enhancements, in the event of higher levels of capex if anticipated – more than ample cash coverage exists to provide comfort against the entire array of reasonable risks assumed for a project risk matrix. 3.2.4. Hurghada Airport (HRG) The conclusions of the preliminary cash flow analysis for HRG carried out as part of Step One screening are as follows: Under Meeting Government Objectives,  From the analysis, HRG projects nearly equal robust operating margins compared with HBE and SSH. Given the relatively lower level of capex projected in Table 76: $22M – and occurring as late as 2032, HRG is in exceptional shape and this is in consideration of lower level cost performance compared with HBE and SSH. (It could be that HBE and SSH may have more superior cost performance by comparison, with HRG being normal.) Like SSH, in no years does HRG run a deficit. A scenario of required infrastructure financing from the private sector doesn’t exist. For the Financial Feasibility criteria,  HRG’s EBITDA of 56% against its operating costs provide a robust average annual LE 705M ($40M) capacity to service its share of the total consolidated credit accounts and long-term loans. Like SSH – with the same accounting treatment, net annual cash flow following assumed total debt service adds to reserves year-on-year, right from the start. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 102 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS For Private Sector Attractiveness,  Same as HBE and SSH, from a financial perspective there is ability and interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake a project and/or provide necessary financing … were the government of a mind to transact in the first place – and were financing even required, which it is not. The projected capex is entirely financed with cash surplus, and the private partner would earn a management fee – not taking financing risk. The “debt” service coverage-ability suggests a well leveraged debt/equity ratio at favorable terms for investor returns without having to arrange complex credit enhancements, in the event of higher levels of capex if anticipated – more than ample cash coverage exists to provide comfort against the entire array of reasonable risks assumed for a project risk matrix. 3.2.5. Aysut Airport (AZT) The conclusions of the preliminary cash flow analysis for AZT carried out as part of Step One screening are as follows: Under Meeting Government Objectives,  From the analysis, AZT operates in the red, year-on-year from the start– providing no margin for even the meager $2M total capex projected in Table 80 scheduled for 2028-2037. Operating costs are more than double its revenue, and so/there is not ample coverage after operations for financing investments of any capex. The airport financial statements provide therefore the scenario of required infrastructure financing from external sources, including if feasible from the private sector (see below). Clearly EAC budget could be justified to cover the investment given the surpluses earned at the other airports, to finance the small investment in these out years. For the Financial Feasibility criteria,  HRG’s EBITDA is an average annual minus LE 50M (-$3M). It’s financial sustainability is negative considering operations alone – even before capital investment consideration. For Private Sector Attractiveness,  From a financial perspective there would be no perceived interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake a project and/or provide necessary financing at AZT on its own. Average annual net income is a minus $3.5M. It would be a candidate for consideration if bundled with another airport opportunity whereby shared capitalization could be the solution. At current, by itself AZT provides no cash comfort for the array of reasonable risks that would be assumed for a project risk matrix, for a project of any size. 3.2.6. Upper Egypt Airports Financial information for the Upper Egypt medium sized airports of Luxor (LXR), Aswan (ASW) and Abu Simbel (ABS) was provided. None of these airports are expected to require major capacity related investments over the planning horizon however. Each of them have handled substantially more traffic in the past than they are projected to handle in the future. The EBITDA’s for these airports are not healthy anyway; with ASW and ABS being very negative, while LXR is not performing much above zero. Operating revenues are not sufficient to cover ordinary operating expenses, and therefore fall short of added requirements to service normal debt, pay for taxes and provide owners a return on investment. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 103 MASTER PLAN FOR EGYPT FUTURE NATIONAL AIRPORTS DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2018 AND POTENTIAL PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS This is attributed to the precipitous decline in traffic of well over 60% experienced since 2008, even though benefited with operating costs holding normal and/or growing normally with inflation. Looking forward, LXR is expected to recover lost traffic but significant growth will be impacted by little potential for large hotel expansions in the area, and ASW is a “mature” tourist destination, with checked hope for sustained increases in visitors in the medium to long term. ABS currently receives minimal scheduled traffic. While traffic at all three airports is expected to recover somewhat, it is doubtful that it would be sufficient to allow acceptable returns to a PPP. Furthermore, there is considerable risk associated with the extent of the recovery of this traffic. 3.2.7. Cairo International Airport (CAI) Though Cairo is not projected to require any significant capacity related investments over the next 20 years, the airport can be expected to incur substantial rehabilitation, replacement and other major maintenance costs. In the case of the cash flow analysis, the following is noted:  2017 accounting data that was provided by the CAC was used for the analysis.  Although payments made into the accounting ledger named Service Development Fund (SDF) annually should be added for a realistic picture of free cash flow from operations for the year, it was conservatively considered as a fixed obligation. (SDF is actually a financing capitalization, that should be treated the same as loans, after EBITDA).  To provide a representation of annual asset renewal and other usual “capex” the following conservatively was assumed: accounting data for “Payments for Fixed Assets” and “Payments for Projects Under Progress” were totalled and used throughout the cash flow years; these represented 47% of revenue; less the 16% of revenue in SDF contribution (stated above), the cash flow analysis assumed the average annual net cash outflow for this category of 31% of revenue. This was added to the capex estimates for major rehabilitation listed above in Table 88. The conclusions of the preliminary cash flow analysis for CAC carried out as part of Step One screening are as follows. Under Meeting Government Objectives,  From the analysis, CAC projects robust operating margins. With EBITDA (before capex) at 62% of revenue beginning in 2017 it has plenty of capacity for the total of capex assumptions. (This is even the case if it didn’t receive the SDF contribution). Like SSH and HRG, in no years does CAC run a deficit. A scenario of required infrastructure financing from the private sector doesn’t exist. For the Financial Feasibility criteria,  Ongoing operations and investments as-is are entirely financially feasible. All assumptions made for outflows are financeable with cash, with net annual cash flow ($113M in year 2020, adding to reserves year-on-year, right from the start. For Private Sector Attractiveness,  Same as for the profitable operations of the EAC airports discussed above, from a financial perspective there is ability and interest of qualified private sector parties to undertake a project and/or provide necessary financing at CAC … were the government of a mind to transact in the first place – and were additional financing even required, which it is not with the current assumptions for projected capex spending.

STEP-ONE PRIORIZATION OF PROJECTS As noted previously, the initial screening of potential airport PPP projects is based on the assignation of points to each of the five primary criteria and each key variable that composes that criteria. To determine which projects pass the initial screening and will be subject to more detailed analysis in a subsequent task, we have established the following ranking for total points once all the criteria and indicators have been summed up (out of a maximum of 100):  70 to 100 points: Likely to be a feasible PPP project  60 to 69 points: Possibly a feasible PPP project  50 to 59 points: Unlikely to be a feasible, but could be considered as part of a group  Less than 50 points: Eliminated from consideration. Minimum thresholds of at least 40% of the available points have also been established for each of the primary five criteria. Airports that do not achieve at least this much for each individual criterion are unlikely to represent feasible PPP projects no matter how well they are rated for the remaining criteria. The following tables present a summary of the analysis and the points assigned to each indicator for each of the airports including in the screening process. IOS PARTNERS, INC.

TOTAL  78 The following table that summarizes the results of this screening evaluation. Dark green shading represents a very positive result (70% of the points or greater), light green represents a marginally positive result, yellow represents a marginally negative result, while red is used when the minimum points are not met. The primary conclusions of this preliminary screening are as follows:  HBE, SSH, HRG and CAI all offer good potential for a possible PPP and deserve further consideration both on an individual basis and possibly as part of a group of airports. There are some differences between these airports worth noting: o Only SSH received greater than 60% of the points available for meeting government objectives. The relatively low points received for that criteria is that none of these airports require outside financing or private sector involvement to be able to finance the estimate required capex. o SSH and HRG may be somewhat less attractive to the private sector than CAI or HBE because future revenues are more highly dependent on a single sector of the economy (tourism) and have proved very sensitive to the impact of exogenous events.

They are also much less likely to work as a PPP for a group of airports. It should be note that though insufficient information was available to apply the screening criteria to the smaller airports, the grouping of larger and smaller airports under the same PPP is a strategy that has been applied elsewhere. Though usually in these cases, even the smaller airports do have more scheduled traffic than most of those in the current EAC system. IOS PARTNERS, INC. REPORT 5 - PAGE | 116
