Cairo, Egypt,
March 3 1950
A party of United States
tourists from the Caronia was
stranded at Luxor, and tonight
members were reported sleeping
on mattresses on the floor
because the hotels were
overcrowded.
A
dispute between
Aden
Airways and the Egyptian air
authorities caused the
discomfiture.
 |
When the Caronia
called at Port Sudan last week,
forty-eight passengers debarked
for a flying trip to Khartoum,
where they were joined by
another party from Nairobi. The
Aden Airways plane which
transported them to Khartoum,
arranged to fly them to Cairo,
and got the necessary permission
from the Egyptian Government.
When some
tourists wanted to land at Luxor
this was done, and the plane
returned to Khartoum, bringing
the rest of the party to Cairo.
But when the airline wanted to
bring others from Luxor, the
Egyptian authorities refused,
saying that this was barred by
an international agreement. |
