Hurghada International Airport has received the first flight from Vienna International Airport in Austria operated by Egyptian International Airlines, in a step supporting tourist traffic from one of the important European markets for Egypt as a destination.
Hurghada International Airport's international flight network is becoming more diverse with the operation of a new direct route linking the city with the Austrian capital Vienna, with Egyptian International Airlines set to operate one flight a week between Vienna and Hurghada.
To celebrate the arrival of the first flight, the public relations department of Hurghada International Airport organized a special welcome, with the traditional water salute for the aircraft and passengers being welcomed with flowers and chocolates, while the airport's operational authorities completed arrival procedures smoothly and efficiently. The atmosphere reflected the warm welcome, the airport's readiness and the integration between the various entities working there, reflecting the level of services offered by the Egyptian Airports Company's airports.
The new route is part of the efforts of the Egyptian Airports Company, chaired by Captain Wael El Nashar, to expand the international flight network and attract more airlines, supporting the growth of air and tourist traffic and strengthening Hurghada International Airport's position as one of Egypt's most important tourist airports and a main gateway for travel to the Red Sea region, according to the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Airports Company.
