In the early hours of Friday, the first direct flight of EgyptAir took off from Cairo International Airport to the Indian capital, New Delhi.
This aligns with EgyptAir’s strategy to increase the number of destinations and frequencies that the company reaches on the Asian continent.
Chairman of the holding company for EgyptAir, Yehia Zakaria, highlighted that they aim to enlarge the volume of trade exchange and travel movement between Egypt and India.
EgyptAir is operating direct flights to New Delhi at a rate of four flights per week on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Zakaria said this new route represents an additional point in EgyptAir’s network in the Asian continent, adding that more direct flights will be studied in the upcoming period in order to save time and effort. This makes traveling on EgyptAir a preferred choice for many customers.
With the operation of the new route, the total number of EgyptAir flights to India will become nine flights per week, including five flights to Mumbai and four flights to New Delhi.
