Air Cairo's first direct flight to the Russian capital Moscow has departed from El Alamein International Airport with 176 passengers on board, a step that expands the airport's international network and opens a new direct route linking El Alamein with the Russian capital.
In the departure halls, the Egyptian Airports Company's public relations and media department welcomed passengers and followed up on providing them with all necessary facilities in coordination with the relevant departments, helping them complete travel procedures smoothly and easily from the moment they entered the airport until they boarded the aircraft.
The launch of the flight is an important step in expanding travel options from El Alamein and the North Coast, as the new route provides a direct connection to Moscow, supports two-way travel and tourism, and strengthens El Alamein International Airport's position as an air gateway linking the region with more international markets.
Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency decided at the end of last week to open direct air routes from Russia to Alexandria and El Alamein international airports in Egypt, helping to boost tourism and aviation between the two countries and opening new destinations for Russian tourists to visit Egypt's Mediterranean destinations, especially Alexandria, the North Coast and El Alamein.
