EGYPTAIR has increased #Cairo to Heathrow flights this summer to triple daily. Not surprisingly, that is the highest number on record. Taking effect on 31st March, it appears that it will be using remedial BA/bmi slots. Now bookable, its flights are due to arrive in Heathrow at 08:40 (new; A320neo), 13:35 (777-300ER), and 21:05 (A320neo). They will leave at 09:40 (new; A320neo), 15:00 (777-300ER), and 22:10 (A320neo). In the past year, EgyptAir carried more Cairo-Heathrow P2P pax than those who connected. However, transit pax were still significant. Jeddah,?Medina, Lagos, Luxor, Hurghada, Mumbai, Khartoum, Asmara, Johannesburg, and Aswan were the top 10 O&Ds. The new daily outbound flight to Heathrow will be more P2P focused, but some core Saudi markets will connect. The new inbound to Cairo is much better timed than the current options for domestic connections, with a daytime option available. It will also provide more options to core Saudi and Mumbai, the latter with a very competitive 75-minute wait in Cairo. #airlines #aviation #airports #uk #egypt With thanks to Sean Moulton for the heads up.
