EGYPTAIR Express launches first flight to Al Arish

In line with the policy of the Ministry of Civil Aviation, headed by Air Marshall Ahmed Shafiq, to develop the Sinai Peninsula community and encourage more tourism in the area, the first flight of EGYPTAIR Express plane has arrived to the area of Al Arish arriving from Cairo. The domestic route operates through
a financing partnership between the North of Sinai governorate and Sama Al Arish Group of Companies. These efforts are also supported by EGYPTAIR Holding Company’s strategic plans in cooperation with the private sector and the investors to develop this sector. The direct flight (scheduled once a week at the moment) between Cairo and Al Arish, will boost flights to North Sinai which is considered to be one of the country’s most attractive touristic areas. Engineer Hussein Massoud, Chairman and CEO of EGYPTAIR Holding Company said that EGYPTAIR endeavors to cooperate with the private sectors in promoting
domestic travel and link the internal flights to the international network and Star Alliance program. Part of the land next to the airport, will be allocated to establish new premises for the Academy, for Aviation studies in Al Arish.
