Air Cairo confirms that: “Passengers travelling from Oslo, Stockholm and Aalborg will also benefit from seamless onward connections via Cairo and Hurghada to a wide network of domestic destinations across Egypt, in addition to convenient access to key cities in Africa, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the broader Middle East.”
“With coordinated schedules and smooth transfer options, Air Cairo “aims to provide travellers from the Nordic region with greater accessibility, flexibility and convenience when travelling to Egypt and beyond.”
