Marsa Matrouh International Airport received the first flight from Czechia, operated by Electra Airways, yesterday, Saturday 2 May, with 176 passengers on board, marking the start of a direct air route between Brno and Marsa Matrouh, an important addition to the air connectivity network that helps support inbound tourism to the North Coast.
The arrival saw an official welcome ceremony, starting with the traditional water salute for the aircraft, as the public relations team distributed flowers, souvenirs and chocolates to passengers, in a special atmosphere reflecting the warm welcome and the airport's keenness to offer a distinctive arrival experience from the very first moment.
Operating this route is an important step in supporting tourism to the North Coast, and reflects growing demand for Egyptian tourist destinations, especially given Marsa Matrouh's distinctive natural and tourism assets, as well as Czechia being one of the promising European markets, according to the official page of the Egyptian Airports Company on Facebook.
