Luxor International Airport

The LCC will add 20 new routes for the winter season.

The plans seek to build on a relationship that stretches back to 2011.

Luxor and Medina are returning after a four-year hiatus, while Sharm El-Sheikh is a new addition for the carrier.

The agreement covers flights between the capital cities of Oman and Egypt, as well as onward domestic and international destinations.

Less than a week after announcing plans to serve Tel Aviv, the ULCC is planning further network growth.

Cairo and Alexandria are being restored to the airline’s route map.

The two carriers have agreed a codeshare deal less than four months after signing a Memorandum of Understanding to increase their cooperation.

In a major expansion of its network Nile Air is adding three new routes during the first week of June, including a new country market, neighbouring Sudan. The new link between Cairo and Port Sudan will launch on June 6, 2015 and will be operated on a twice weekly basis, Nile Air’s first international service in Africa. It will bring competition and enhanced connectivity to a route currently served on a weekly basis by Sudan Airways.
