Discography

Tadros

Tadros is a common given name or family name being the Greek equivalent of Theodore. The family's origin is said to be in Greece or Egypt, but the name may also be prominent in other Middle Eastern countries with a Christian minority including Jordan and Syria. Most people with the last name Tadros are from orthodox, mainly Coptic or Antiochian, Christian families brought to Egypt and the Middle East during the Byzantine Empire. Although the name is Greek and spans many states in the Middle East the origins of people named Tadros may be completely unrelated to each other: Coptic Egyptians with this last name are of pharaonic and Greek descent while Antiochians are native to Jordan and Syrians to ancient peoples of the region around Damascus. In the United States many variations of the name have arisen due to misspellings and difficult pronunciation; some people with the names Tadros have created variations including Tadres, Tawadros and Tawadrous.

El Nouzha Airport

El Nouzha Airport or Alexandria International Airport (Arabic: مطار النزهة‎) (IATA: ALY, ICAO: HEAX) is a currently closed international airport located in Alexandria, Egypt, 7 km southeast of the city center. In 2009, the airport served 1,142,412 passengers (−1.8% vs. 2008). The airport has been shut down for major renovations in 2011 while all traffic was transferred to Borg El Arab Airport. As of January 2016, there is no date known for the reopening as the planned date in 2014 has gone by.

Overview

The future of the airport was in doubt with the opening of Borg El Arab Airport, however in early 2011 the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation announced major plans to overhaul the airport and its facilities to ensure its future as one of the two commercial airports for Alexandria and Nile Delta region. The renovation project is expected to cost US$120 million which will include lengthening the main runway (04/22) by an additional 750m and the construction of a new passenger terminal to replace the existing aging facility. Due to the length of the old runways, the largest aircraft operating into the airport were the Airbus A320-200, Boeing 737-800 and McDonnell Douglas MD-90.
