A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between EgyptAir and ALO Dhaka Aviation Ltd in Cairo to operate two scheduled Dhaka-Cairo flights every week, starting November 2021.
Although the
state-owned flag carrier of Egypt is now operating at 65% of its capacity, it
agreed to start Cairo-Dhaka-Cairo direct flights to boost the country's vital
tourism sector.
However, this will
provide a cheaper option for Bangladeshi passengers and cargoes destined for
Europe and North America, being an alternative to Dubai and Istanbul.
"Our expatriates
and businesspersons are expected to get benefitted as well," said the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sunday.
