Travellers from Manchester looking for a chance to see the ancient wonders with ease can do so this summer as the airline has announced its new direct service to Cairo will depart in July.
Egyptair will launch the inaugural service on July 15, 2023, with flights operating five times per week from Manchester Airport. The route makes Manchester the only UK city outside of London to have a direct link to Egypt’s capital.
Chris Woodroofe, managing director of Manchester Airport, said: “Having a direct route to Cairo is fantastic news for travellers in our region, giving them a straightforward means of visiting one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. This link also offers businesses in our region access to a fast-growing market and adds another in-demand route to our growing network, cementing our place as the UK’s global gateway in the North.”
Mohamed Moussa, chairman and CEO of Egyptair, commented: “Manchester is one of the largest airports in the UK and is increasingly one of the most in-demand destinations for our customers. In addition, being a main hub to Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East, Cairo International Airport offers various connections to passengers from Manchester to explore the world, with Egyptair serving more than 70 destinations worldwide.”
