Philip Breckner said despite “nothing challenging us to the extent of this current pandemic”, the business “remains a strong [and] financially stable company”.
In an email to agents, Breckner outlined how the operator and its partners in Egypt had been dealing with the coronavirus crisis.
He described the closing of Egypt’s borders on 16 March – with just two days of notice – as “like a ton of bricks”.
“At the time, we had 72 customers in Egypt, some who had literally travelled out that day or a few days before. With due haste and the invaluable assistance of Egypt Air, we succeeded, at our expense, in repatriating everyone within 48 hours.
