El Alamein International Airport received the first Saudia flight from the capital, Riyadh, with 78 passengers on board last Thursday, in a new operational launch that reflects the growing interest in El Alamein as a prominent summer destination on the Mediterranean coast.
The operation of this direct route comes as part of a new seasonal operating plan for Saudia to run regular flights to El Alamein International Airport, with 3 weekly flights from Riyadh from June 19 to September 12, in addition to 3 other flights from Jeddah starting on June 21 and continuing until September 14 this year.
The airport's public relations team organized a special welcome for the passengers, including flowers and souvenirs, in a festive atmosphere reflecting the warm hospitality and highlighting the civilized image of Egyptian airports.
This new operation is one of the fruits of the Ministry of Civil Aviation's efforts to strengthen air connectivity with Gulf markets by providing operational facilities to airlines, helping to support the tourism sector and attract more inbound traffic to Egypt's coastal cities.
New Alamein City is one of the cities established as part of the New Republic's national projects, built to international specifications through purely Egyptian efforts. The city has become the jewel of the Mediterranean and a distinguished coastal destination, attracting growing numbers of Egyptians, Arabs and foreigners thanks to its stunning beaches, modern infrastructure and integrated entertainment, tourism and commercial facilities, which has strengthened its position as a prominent tourism and investment destination on the map of the North Coast, according to the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Airports Company.
