EgyptAir adds Birmingham flights
The national carrier now flies four times weekly between Cairo and the UK's West Midlands.
EgyptAir launched direct flights between Cairo International Airport and Birmingham Airport on October 30, 2026, as part of its winter schedule.
The airline will operate the route four times per week using Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, making Birmingham Egypt's third UK destination after London Heathrow and Manchester.
