Speaking at the 2025 Paris Air Show, Captain Ahmed Adel, CEO of EGYPTAIR, outlined the airline's expansion plans in the United States. This includes launching a new route to Los Angeles in 2027, which will be its longest flight based on its current network. The expansion strategy also involves increasing frequencies on existing U.S. routes.
The airline is set to receive its first Airbus A350 this December, with an initial order of 10 planes and options for six more. Captain Adel hinted that these options would be confirmed during the air show. "The first batch of seven A350s is going to complement the network and work in tandem with the 787s because the A350 is higher capacity," said Captain Adel.
Los Angeles has been identified as a key destination due to demand between Cairo and Los Angeles, despite no non-stop service having previously operated between them. According to OAG Traffic Analyzer data, 63,000 people traveled round-trip between these cities in the year ending July 2024.
