E nānā i kēia wahi no ka haʻihaʻi ʻana i nā nūhou mokulele mai ʻApelika Hikina a me ka ʻāina o ka moana ʻĀina.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- It is not sure if and in fact when Egypt Air may resume flights to Juba, but not likely before independence – due on 09th July – and then only as a non-stop service leaving out Khartoum, as otherwise the route would again be subject to all the same issues which now led to the ‘suspension' of operations.
- Only recently was a report filed here over massive allegations of mistreatment and racist comments being made towards Southern Sudanese travellers on this flight by Cairo airport staff, when they were told the delay would result in them not travelling at all as the flight would only go as far as Khartoum.
- When these news spread this was almost the death knell for the operation, besides the recent political upheavals in Egypt when no one wanted to travel via Cairo with curfews in place and flight cancellations galore.
