Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, is enhancing its flight offerings in Egypt.

Expanded Operations

Beginning as a six-weekly service in December 2025, the schedule will evolve to daily flights by February 2026.

As part of the plan, Emirates will be increasing its operational flights on the Dubai-Cairo route. The additional flights provide important capacity to meet the growing demand, which is especially crucial for seasonal travel peaks.

Details of the Service

Starting from December 1, 2025, Emirates will operate an extra six weekly flights, optimizing the service for seamless transit between major international destinations, including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Cairo will see bolstered operations with the introduction of a fifth daily flight, positioning it as a strategic hub within Emirates’ network.

“As one of the region’s busiest gateways for both passengers and cargo, Cairo has long been a key destination for Emirates,” said Adnan Kazim. He added that the expanded service aims to strengthen tourism and trade ties between Egypt and the UAE.

Strategic Importance

Egypt has been a priority market for Emirates since its inaugural flight in 1986. The enhanced services will cater to increased leisure and business traffic as the airline approaches 40 years of operations in the region.

Additionally, the new route will facilitate the transport of essential goods, allowing Emirates SkyCargo to uplift fresh Egyptian produce, thereby helping to drive the local economy.

This significant growth in capacity underscores Emirates’ long-term commitment to Egypt’s aviation and tourism sectors.
