Egypt Air plans daily operations on Mumbai-Cairo route by 2008-end

Mumbai: Egypt Air, which enhanced operations on the Mumbai-Cairo route from two-flights-a-week to three-flights-a-week earlier this year in June, is now planning to elevate the frequency to daily flights. The airline is also looking to add New Delhi and Bangalore on its route map by operating thrice a week to both the cities. "We have acquired the traffic rights to start more flights to India since last year. However, since we do not have additional aircraft in our fleet at this point of time, we have not been able to enhance operations to India. We are planning to deploy A330 aircraft on all the new flights, which are likely to be launched by 2008-end", said Ahmed Wasfy, Regional Manager- India, Egypt Air. Apart from connecting Mumbai with Cairo, the airline also flies thrice a week on the Mumbai-Kuala Lumpur route. It operates an A330 aircraft on both the routes.
