EgyptAir announced that it has coordinated and cooperated with the relevant authorities in Algeria and Kuwait to operate air bridges from the two countries to a number of Egyptian cities for the holidays of the blessed Eid al-Adha.
Safwat Moslem, chairman of EgyptAir Holding Company, said the company operated 14 special flights between Algeria and Sharm El-Sheikh from August 14 until early September to boost tourism, carrying 1,260 Algerian passengers to spend the summer holiday in Sharm El-Sheikh.
In a related context, Moslem said another air bridge is scheduled to be launched to operate about 20 special flights between Kuwait and Assiut, Sohag and Luxor, starting today, August 29, until mid-September, carrying about 3,000 Egyptians working in the brotherly State of Kuwait to spend the blessed Eid al-Adha holidays and summer vacations in Egypt during this period.
It is worth noting that, in addition to these special flights, EgyptAir operates a daily scheduled flight to Algiers on its latest Boeing B737-800 aircraft, as well as its scheduled flights between Kuwait and both Luxor and Alexandria.
