Route Development & Rumours

[Birmingham Aviation]

Both of those are short haul. Medium would be the likes of the the middle East or maybe Egypt

I guess ur right however is medium haul 3-6 hours

Air Cairo no
Nile air no

Egypt air maybe
Royal air Jordanian (apparently 2027)
Gulf air (don’t know if that’s long or medium)

Pilot Adel and his delegation have been actively promoting these expansion efforts on the global stage. At the World Travel Market (WTM) in London, one of the most prominent international travel exhibitions, EgyptAir’s leadership team held key meetings to further their commercial goals. One notable discussion was with the Saudi Tourism Authority, focusing on increasing flight frequencies between Egypt and Saudi Arabia to meet the growing demand for travel between the two countries. Additionally, the delegation met with representatives from Birmingham International Airport to explore the potential for opening a new flight route, responding to rising demand for travel between Egypt and the UK.

Another airline with growing ambitions and growing global footprint. Would be another great addition and the fact Egypt Air are name-checking us is a positive sign...

Can’t see them at bhx next summer can you

Why not?

Why not?

Will it be Cairo or the two popular spots in Egypt.

I just can’t see it as it’s a less demanding route to Cairo.I might be completely wrong

Are you guessing it's a low demand route......?

Sort of yeah.Im just thinking why Cairo?
For connections to Egypt and the outer regions?

Most of Africa and the Middle East and a few far East connections. Also Egypt is a fantastic destination on it's own with the Pyramids, Luxor, Alexandria, Aswan and the red sea resorts. A service I would definitely use instead of going to LHR to use the MS service there.

The Cathay Pacific rumours have certainly died down since Bloomberg rumoured it.

Cairo is a huge city in itself. In addition, it offers onward connections throughout Africa and the Middle East. I would have thought it's certainly worth a go, perhaps 2 to 3 times a week?.

Looking on the map of the link you posted it looks like Cairo only flys to Manchester ,Heathrow and Dublin

 

[nwoody2001]

That's not Cairo's route map, that Is Egyptair's route map... Hence its clear that if Egyptair launches, it will be to Cairo
