Emirates is deploying an additional six weekly frequencies on the Dubai-Cairo route from December 1, 2025.
Strategically
scheduled for maximum connectivity with the airline’s vast global network, the
additional frequencies will cater to the increased demand during peak winter
season.
From February 1, 2026, this will scale
to a daily flight with revised timings that complements the current schedule of
four daily flights, reinforcing the airline’s confidence in meeting strong
leisure and corporate travel demand in and out of Egypt.
Operated with a Boeing
777, the flight schedule is optimised for seamless connections with key
destinations in Asia including Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and
many more.
As one of the earliest
destinations on Emirates’ global network, Egypt has long been a priority market
for the airline.
Cairo already boasts
the highest deployment of the iconic Emirates A380s in the Middle East and
North Africa, outside of Dubai, and once live with the fifth daily service,
will also become the most served city in the airline’s African network, a
testament to the airline’s ongoing commitment to the market as it approaches 40
years of service.
Adnan Kazim, Emirates’
Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer said, “As one of the
region’s busiest gateways for both passengers and cargo, Cairo has long been a
key destination for Emirates. The additional service will make it easier for
customers to connect across our network, while fostering strong trade and
tourism links between Egypt, the UAE and the wider world. On the eve of our 40th anniversary
of operations to Cairo, the enhanced schedule is a mark of our unwavering
commitment to the region. We’d like to extend our thanks to the Egyptian
authorities for their support in securing this new frequency and look forward
to welcoming passengers onboard soon.” -TradeArabia News Service
