The airline plans to operate one weekly flight to El Alamein during the summer season
El Alamein International Airport today received the first TAROM flight from Romania as part of its summer 2026 operations, with 179 passengers on board, adding a new destination to the network of flights arriving in New Alamein City.
The new route comes amid continued growth in tourist traffic to New Alamein City and the North Coast and growing demand from various international markets to visit Egyptian destinations during the summer season, strengthening the region's position as one of the most prominent tourist destinations on the Mediterranean coast.
To celebrate the arrival of the first flight, the Egyptian Airports Company organized a special welcome for the aircraft with the traditional water salute, and the public relations team welcomed passengers with flowers and souvenirs.
TAROM will continue to operate scheduled flights between Romania and El Alamein International Airport with one flight a week throughout the summer season, helping to support inbound tourism and boost travel between the two sides, especially given Romanian tourists' growing interest in visiting New Alamein City and enjoying its diverse tourism and entertainment assets.
TAROM's choice to operate flights to El Alamein International Airport reflects New Alamein City's growing position on the international tourism map and the continued success of the Ministry of Civil Aviation's efforts to strengthen air connectivity with various international destinations, supporting operations at Egyptian airports and boosting inbound tourism, according to the official Facebook page of the Egyptian Airports Company.
