About EgyptAir

EgyptAir (IATA: MS, ICAO: MSR) is the national carrier of Egypt and one of the oldest airlines in the world, headquartered at Cairo International Airport (CAI) in Cairo, Egypt. Founded in 1932 as Misr Airwork, EgyptAir began operations with domestic Egyptian routes and has since grown into a major international carrier connecting the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. EgyptAir is a member of Star Alliance, providing passengers with seamless connections to over 1,200 global destinations through partner airlines.

The airline operates its frequent flyer programme, EgyptAir Plus, which allows members to accumulate miles on EgyptAir flights and Star Alliance partner airlines. These miles can be redeemed for award flights, seat upgrades, and other travel benefits. EgyptAir is wholly owned by the Egyptian government and plays a central role in Egypt's tourism and connectivity strategy.
