Egyptair Express

Egyptair Express was a regional airline based in Cairo, Egypt. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of the state-owned Egyptair, established in 2006 to offer passengers increased frequencies on domestic and regional routes through the use of smaller aircraft.[2]The airline had been a member of Star Alliance, through the membership of its parent company, Egyptair, since July 2008. On 4 November 2019, it was merged with its parent Egyptair as part of a restructuring plan.[3][4]

History

Egyptair Express was created in May 2006 and launched operations on 1 June 2007.[5]

In January 2018, it was announced that the airline would open a base at Sharm El Sheikh International Airport for its incoming fleet of Airbus A220-300s, this would increase the amount of destinations served by the airline at the airport with the possibility of operating to cities in Italy, Germany, Morocco and India non-stop.[6]

As of 4 November 2019, as part of Aviation Minister Air Marshal Younes Hamed's restructuring plan, Egyptair Express has been completely merged with Egyptair, its parent company.[3][4] It continued to operate the Embraer E170 which was gradually being sold at a rate of one per month, being replaced by the Airbus A220 operated by Egyptair mainline. It ceased operations in June 2020 after selling the last Embraer E170[7]
