EgyptAir
EGYPTAIR was founded as a private company in May 1932, becoming the seventh airline in the world. In August of 1933, EGYPTAIR’s first flight departed from Cairo’s Almaza Airport to Alexandria. The Egyptian Government took over the company during the Second World War, however, it was soon returned to its status as an independent company.
In the 1960s, the company was merged with Syrian Airlines, forming a new company called United Arab airlines. Although this merger lasted for only one year, the company kept the name until 1971, when it was renamed EGYPTAIR.
In July 2002, EGYPTAIR changed its structure into a holding company with nine subsidiaries. During the past 75 years, the company has expanded its network to cover more than 80 destinations worldwide and become one of the leading airlines in Africa and the Middle East.
EGYPTAIR now operates more than 600 weekly flights from Cairo and several other Egyptian cities to more than 66 domestic and international destinations across the Middle East, Asia, Europe, Africa and North America
