As part of the Star Alliance network, Egyptian national airline EGYPTAIR has declared the addition of new direct routes for 2023. Among these is a July departure from Cairo to Manchester, which is serviced five times per week via B737-800NG aircraft and provides business class.
Additionally, EGYPTAIR initiated flights between Cairo and Delhi in August, utilising A320 aircraft for these journeys four times per week.
