EgyptAir chairman discharged for 'mismanagment'

The Egyptian minister of aviation, Hussam Kamal, discharged on Thursday Sameh El-Hefny from his position as head of the state-owned EgyptAir company following a report of mismanagement from the administrative watchdog, Al-Ahram Arabic website reported.
The report found that unused airplanes and scrap were left along part of an airplane runway. A piece of land owned by EgyptAir was also turned into a dump, reported Al-Ahram Arabic news website.

El-Hefny told Al-Ahram that he resigned, and denied responsibility for these violations, saying that this is the responsibility of the Cairo airport company.
