It transports a regular amount of 50 million passengers each year domestically and 200 million people each year in regional operations.The massive changes brought about by government employed engineers tasked with designing new machinery and airplane parts and the introduction of a new safety system that ensured increased revenues for the next 5 years, taking only a minor bump in profits during the year 1980 where it encountered many obstacles but nevertheless, Fly Egyptos began it's modernization program and after 20+ years, has already succeeded and now deemed proper for international operations.
