Egyptair launches Athens route from Alexandria


Egyptair Express has launched its second route to the Greek capital Athens (ATH) after the airline’s mainline operations from Cairo. The Star Alliance airline now flies twice-weekly from Alexandria Borg El Arab (HBE) with 76-seat E-170 aircraft as of 16 December. The two cities were last connected by Olympic Air and its predecessors, which used Alexandria’s El Nouza Airport for its operations between 1985 and 2010.
