Saturday, August 17, 2024 Nile Air, the largest private airline in Egypt, has announced the inauguration of its new flight service connecting Cairo International Airport to Arar Domestic Airport. Starting August 17, the airline will operate flights twice a week using the Airbus A320 aircraft. This new route underscores Nile Air’s commitment to expanding its network, currently spanning multiple destinations across Egypt, the Middle East, the Persian Gulf, Southern Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Cairo International Airport (CAI), where Nile Air is based, stands as Egypt’s premier international gateway and its busiest aviation facility. It not only serves as a vital hub for Egyptair and Nile Air but also accommodates various other international carriers. In recent statistics, Cairo International Airport was the country’s busiest airport, handling about 55% of all traffic.
It received 26 million passengers, marking a 30% increase from the 20 million handled in 2022. Meanwhile, Arar Domestic Airport, located in the capital of Northern Borders Province in Saudi Arabia, has been operational since June 1, 1981. This airport plays a crucial role in connecting the region with various domestic and international destinations, facilitating the growth of travel and commerce between the two nations.
This new air route by Nile Air not only enhances travel options but also strengthens the air connectivity between Egypt and Saudi Arabia, promising an increase in tourism and business exchanges.
