EgyptAir plans to increase frequency of its Delhi-Cairo flights, make it a daily

New Delhi: EgyptAir is planning to increase the frequency of its flights between Delhi and Cairo. Launched as a four times weekly connection — the only nonstop between the two capitals — last August, Egypt’s national carrier plans to soon make it a daily flight “in light of the growing Egyptian-Indian relations at all levels.”
EgyptAir country manager Amr Aly said: “Since the launch of the direct flight last year, we have witnessed a notable increase in travel, business, and cultural exchanges between Egypt and India.This move to daily flights is set to further augment these ties.”
The Cairo-Delhi route is operated by the airline’s Airbus A320neo aircraft. The airline is in the midst of expanding its fleet. “…aligns with the African nation’s ministry of civil aviation’s directives to enhance Egypt’s connectivity with the world through Cairo’s hub. EgyptAir, Africa’s oldest carrier, recently celebrated its 92nd anniversary, marking nearly a century of exceptional air travel services,” the airline said in a statement,
Regarding India operations, the statement said that “milestone comes on the heels of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Egypt last year, which further strengthened the ties between the two nations. Shortly after his visit, EgyptAir inaugurated its first direct flight from Cairo to New Delhi, marking a significant step in bolstering travel and cultural exchange,” the airline said in a statement.
