The Transport Ministry is currently in talks with several international institutions to finance the development of Cairo Metro Line 3’s airport route, Transport Minister Hisham Arafat said, according to Al Mal. The minister did not provide further details on the size of funding the ministry is seeking or the progress on the talks. A French-led consortium had presented its technical and financial offers for the route, which links Heliopolis to the Cairo International Airport, last month. A final decision on the project’s developer is expected to be revealed by the end of the year.
