The first EGYPTAIR flight MS863 took off from Cairo International Airport to Kinshasa , the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with the beginning of the operation of the new airline between the two countries, in continuation of the National Company’s ambitious plan to expand its network to reach many significant points in Africa.
EGYPTAIR is keen to provide more new points through its airlines network that reaches about 70 direct points around the world, including 19 points in Africa, in addition to more than 40 other points using the “codeshare” flights,in spite of the COVID-19 repercussions, which had its negative impact on the Air transport industry.
