National Logistics Services Egypt, a subsidiary of the NAS Group, has been awarded a tender by Egyptian Airports Company to provide premium meet-and-assist and lounge services at Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport, one of the top 10 busiest airports in Africa.
NAS will offer Pearl Assist, a world-class meet-and-assist service for the estimated 7 million passengers travelling through Terminals 1 and 2 of Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport each year.
Pearl Assist is managed by NAS and is aimed at providing passengers with seamless services from the moment they arrive at the airport until the moment they depart. For example, Pearl Assist will ensure travelers are promptly met and escorted on arrival and departure. Pearl Assist will help travelers to obtain expedited visa upon arrival and be guided through immigration clearance, baggage claim and finally, to their transportation pick-up point.
NAS has also started operating a lounge at both terminals since June 2015. The Pearl Lounge provides passengers with a wide range of services before they board a flight, including comfortable seats, charging stations, complimentary Wi-Fi, a play area for kids, and an assortment of snacks and beverages. The Pearl Lounge is accessible to special cardholders such as Priority Pass and Airport Angel members, employees of premium banks, and business class passengers.
Hassan El-Houry, CEO of NAS Group, said: "NAS is pleased to partner with the Egyptian Airports Company to enhance the travelling experience of passengers at Sharm El-Sheikh airport. We are confident our Pearl Assist and Pearl Lounge services will provide passengers with a comfortable and relaxed transfer through the airport."
To make their services more accessible and improve passenger experience, NAS has introduced a booking portal at www.pearlassist.com, mobile phone applications and other airport technologies for all Pearl services.
With rapid growth expected in Sharm El-Sheikh's tourism sectors and NAS' extensive experience in providing lounge and meet-and-assist services of the highest quality, passengers flying to or through Sharm El-Sheikh airport will experience truly seamless services.
