New direct route from Dublin to Cairo by Egyptair

Egypt's national airline, Egyptair, will start a new Dublin to Cairo service this summer. The new route, which begins on June 2nd, will operate four times per week and will be Ireland’s first scheduled air service to and from Egypt. It's part of Egyptair's strategy to expand its network to cities and hubs around the world. Egyptair is headquartered at Cairo International Airport, its main hub, and operates scheduled passenger and freight services to more than 75 destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Vincent Harrison, managing director at Dublin Airport said: “We’re very pleased to welcome Egyptair to Ireland and to add Cairo to Dublin Airport’s extensive route network. Cairo is one of the world’s great cities and we will be working closely with Egyptair to promote this new route, which will be welcomed by both business and leisure travellers.”<br/>
