EgyptAir plans to launch direct Dublin – Cairo service from June 5. The new route will operate four times per week and will be Ireland’s first scheduled air service to Egypt.
“Cairo is one of the world’s great cities and we will be working closely with EgyptAir to promote this new route, which will be welcomed by both business and leisure travellers.” said Dublin Airport MD Vincent Harrison.

The market for air travel between Dublin and Cairo is increasing, with an estimated 14,000 passengers travelling between the two cities last year.
