A US security delegation requested Wednesday that Egypt's authorities not include freight cargos on passenger flights heading to the United States, according to a security source.
The US delegation inspected security measures taken by Cairo International Airport authorities to secure passengers and bags, especially on the EgyptAir flight 985 flying to New York, the source added.
EgyptAir will take the US delegation's request into consideration, which is a regular security measure requested by Egypt from other countries on occasion, the source mentioned.
