FlyEgypt to enter the cargo-flying business

Following governmental approval, FlyEgypt is entering the cargo-flying business. The airline issued a RFP in which it seeks to lease a single B737-800BCF and hopes to welcome the aircraft in the coming year.

FlyEgypt was founded in 2014 and launched flights in February of the next year. It normally operates charter-flights between Egypt and destinations in Germany, Switzerland, but also to Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi-Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The airline has a fleet of seven aircraft consisting of two B737-700s and five B737-800s. FlyEgypt is also planning to add four B737-8s, the first two of which are scheduled to arrive this year.
