Yasser El-Ramly, chairman of Air Cairo, said a new route has been launched between Yerevan in Armenia and Hurghada on the Red Sea, as the airline's first scheduled flight, number SM998, from the Armenian city of Yerevan arrived at Hurghada International Airport this morning carrying 135 tourists. He noted that this step comes as part of a strategy to expand the company's network on the European continent and to boost inbound tourism to Egypt.
El-Ramly said Yerevan is the 31st destination in Air Cairo's route network, which operates 45 scheduled flights from 16 European cities, in addition to 20 weekly charter flights to Egypt's tourist airports.
