Coinciding with the start of the winter schedule on October 29, EgyptAir has announced the addition of a number of flights linking Cairo with cities and capitals around the world, including increased frequencies at a rate of one flight daily to Amsterdam, New York, Bahrain and Madrid, and about 5 flights weekly to Barcelona, Vienna and Baghdad, in addition to 11 weekly flights to Casablanca, Morocco, instead of 9.
The addition of these regular weekly frequencies to these destinations comes to meet growing customer demand for flights to these countries, and the daily flights will also provide more flexibility for travelers, enabling them to continue their journeys smoothly to the various stations of EgyptAir's global network, which covers more than 61 direct destinations via Cairo International Airport.
Most of these flights will be operated using Boeing B777-300 and B737-800 aircraft, among the latest models to have recently joined the company's fleet. These aircraft are operated on medium- and long-haul routes, especially the 737 model, which is in line with the company's plan to reduce its expenses, as it cuts fuel consumption by 6% compared with the same model currently in service, maintenance costs by 20%, and operating costs by 8%. In addition, it features the new interior design based on Boeing's "Boeing Sky Interior" concept, so that the passenger feels like part of the sky.
The increased frequencies to these destinations will boost connectivity with several destinations in the Middle East, Asia and Europe, including cities served by EgyptAir with its newest aircraft.
