Egyptair is the state-owned flag carrier of Egypt. The airline is headquartered at Cairo International Airport, its main hub, operating scheduled passenger and freight services to 70 destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Egyptair is a member of Star Alliance.
Under the slogan “A long history … A bright future,” Egyptair celebrated its 90th anniversary. The national company was established on May 7, 1932, to be the first operating airline in the Middle East and Africa and the seventh airline in the world.
The company started its operation in the name of Misr Airwork in 1932 until 1941, and then it was renamed as MisrAir until 1960 when it was rebranded as the United Arab Airlines following the establishment of the United Arab Republic between Egypt and Syria. Since then, it is named as Egyptair.
