About
FlyEgypt is an Egyptian hybrid and charter airline that began operations in February 2015, with its first flight being a charter between Cairo and Jeddah. The airline aimed to offer a simpler, more convenient, and affordable way to fly for both Egyptians and tourists. FlyEgypt operated with a fleet of Boeing 737NG aircraft, primarily in a single-class configuration. It offered scheduled passenger and charter flights to various destinations in Egypt, the Middle East, and Europe. However, as of October 2024, FlyEgypt ceased all flight operations and attempted to file for bankruptcy due to significant debt, though liquidation plans were halted by Egypt's Civil Aviation Authority.
