Sharif added that the company anticipates an increase in operational traffic on this new route in the coming period, which may lead to a gradual increase in flight frequency up to daily services based on demand and passenger volume. He emphasized that this route is a significant addition to Air Cairo’s network within the Saudi market, which is considered one of the company’s key strategic markets.

Furthermore, Sharif noted that Air Cairo continues to implement its expansion plans to enhance air connectivity between Egypt and major markets in the region. This effort contributes to supporting tourism and business activities while serving Egyptian communities abroad. The airline remains committed to delivering exceptional operational services with high standards of safety and quality.
