This move will provide more choices for customers who want to connect to Dubai and beyond, and they will also have the chance to enjoy Emirates A380’s renowned experience.

The operational boost means that Emirates will have four flights every day, with three daily services on the A380 and one on the Boeing 777. Cairo has the second-highest deployment of Emirates A380 services in the MENA region, after Dubai.

Travellers highly seek the Emirates A380 experience for its spacious and comfortable cabins, along with signature features like the Onboard Lounge, First Class suites, and Shower Spa that provide the best in-flight experiences. Currently, Emirates deploys its flagship A380 to 41 destinations worldwide.

On flights to Cairo, the modern Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in a three-class configuration offer Emirates’ award-winning service and industry-leading products, including private suites in First Class, lie-flat seats in Business Class, and spacious seats in Economy Class.

All classes can also savour delicious multi-course meals prepared by award-winning chefs on the flight.

Emirates commenced operations to Cairo in April 1986 with three weekly flights and has since carried 9.6 million passengers to and from Cairo. Operations have gradually grown with an increase in both frequency and capacity between Cairo and Dubai to meet the customers’ demands.

Presently, Emirates operates 25 weekly flights between Cairo and Dubai, and in the last 30 years, the airline has made a significant contribution to the local economy and tourism by transporting visitors from across its global network that spans six continents.
