Air Cairo to Launch New Flights to Riyadh

Air Cairo, a low cost Egyptian airline, will launch direct flights from Alexandria and Assyut to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from 25 March 2013.

"We have an ambitious plan to expand and develop the network, and will continue to provide new destinations and increase frequencies in order to provide more options to our customers in all Egyptian governorates, as well as prices to suit everyone," said Yasser El Ramly, Chairman and CEO of Air Cairo. "With the operation to Riyadh we will have 45 scheduled weekly flights. This expansion of the network in the Middle East comes under the strategy of the Ministry of Aviation to grow investments and provide more services for residents of Egyptian governorates located far from Cairo."

Air Cairo will operate the route with a single class Airbus 320 which can accommodate up to 177 passengers.
