EgyptAir received its new Airbus A220-300 aircraft at Airbus's plant in Montreal, Canada. It is the third aircraft under EgyptAir's deal to add 12 aircraft of the same type to its fleet.
Ostend International Airport in Belgium celebrated the arrival of the EgyptAir aircraft with the traditional water salute during its refueling stop, as it was the first A220 to land there. The aircraft then resumed its journey to Cairo International Airport.
Throughout the delivery period, the EgyptAir delegation, which included representatives of the planning, legal affairs and finance sectors of EgyptAir Holding Company, representatives of the maintenance and engineering company, flight deck and cabin crew, and representatives of cabin research and development at the airline company, verified the soundness of all technical steps followed and their compliance with the contracted standards, and reviewed all contracting procedures with representatives of the parties concerned.
This type is among the most advanced and innovative in the world in the single-aisle aircraft category, with its distinctive cabin, seats and spacious luggage storage, in addition to large windows that provide more natural light and enjoyment of the sky.
EgyptAir seeks to deliver a distinctive travel experience that meets its customers' wishes on board this type, which covers its domestic and regional destinations within its route network extending around the world.
The fourth aircraft from this deal is expected to arrive during the current month, with the remaining aircraft arriving successively until 2020.
