en.Wedoany.com Reported - EgyptAir will launch a direct flight route between Birmingham Airport (BHX) in the UK and Cairo International Airport (CAI) on October 27, operating four weekly flights using newly acquired Boeing 737-8 aircraft. This will be the first direct connection between the two cities.

Birmingham Airport currently has routes to Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt. The new route will expand its Egyptian destination network and become the only direct connection to the Egyptian capital from the airport. EgyptAir described the high-frequency flight schedule as a "highly flexible" option for travelers in the Midlands region in a statement. Passengers departing from Birmingham can access EgyptAir's broader route network via Cairo, connecting to destinations in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Matt Hazelwood, Chief Commercial Officer of Birmingham Airport, stated that this route will strengthen the airport's services in Egypt, offering more choices for direct-flight customers. Captain Mohamed Elian, Chairman and CEO of EgyptAir, said the move demonstrates the airline's commitment to the UK market, expanding its presence in the UK by adding Birmingham to its route network, reflecting a commitment to a market of significant importance.

The launch of the Birmingham route is part of EgyptAir's broader expansion plan. The airline also announced a new route between Cairo and Zanzibar, Tanzania, starting September 4, using Boeing 737-800 aircraft with two weekly flights.
