Emirates recently announced its decision to add three new weekly flights between Dubai and Cairo.
The new service will commence from 1 January 2016 and supplement the current twice daily Boeing 777-300ER flights. This will take the total number of flights serving Cairo to 17 each week.
“We are delighted to be able to grow our business in Cairo, on the back of commercial demand and customer support. In the past eight years, the route has carried over 2.7 million passengers,” said Adil Al Ghaith, senior vice president commercial operations for Northern and Western Africa.
The airline started operations to Cairo in April 1986 with three flights a week. Operations have steadily grown with increases in both frequency and capacity between Cairo and Dubai. Emirates will operate the new weekly flights with an Airbus A330-200, offering 12 seats in first class, 42 seats in business class and 183 economy class seats.
The additional frequencies, EK925, will depart Dubai every Sunday, Monday and Friday at 20:50 and arrives in Cairo at 23:05. The return flight, EK926, will depart Cairo on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturday at 00:35 and arrives in Dubai at 06:15.
