EGYPTAIR has taken delivery of its first of 12 A220-300 aircraft on order, becoming the first A220 operator based in the Middle East and North African region, and the sixth operator worldwide. The Cairo-based airline intends to fly the aircraft on routes to and from its main Egyptian Hub in Cairo in the coming days.
Representatives from the airline, alongside executives from Airbus Canada Limited Partnership, celebrated the aircraft handover at the A220 Mirabel final assembly line.
EGYPTAIR’s brand-new A220-300 is configured in a two-class cabin with 140-seats including 15 premium-economy and 125 economy-class seats, offering every passenger a greater level of comfort and space.
