FlyDubai Introduces Daily Flights To Cairo

Budget airline flydubai is set to add an extra daily flight to Egypt’s Cairo from October 28.

The Dubai-based carrier will jet passengers from DXB to Cairo’s Sphinx International Airport (SPX), and the new flight will mean that flydubai flys to Egypt 17 times a week, including daily to Alexandria Borg El Arab International Airport (HBE).

Passengers will be able to fly in Business or Economy on the flights aboard Boeing 737 MAX.

Sphinx International Airport opened in November 2022 and is found on the road between Cairo and Alexandria (just 45 kilometres from the pyramids of Giza).

Just a short drive from Egypt’s main historical and archaeological sites, it’s a great destination to fly to.

In February, Emirates announced it was boosting operations to Cairo from Sunday October 29.

The boost will see Dubai-based airline Emirates operating four daily flights, three times a day on the A380 and one daily service on the Boeing 777.

Popular airline Emirates started operations to Cairo in April 1986 with three flights a week and, since then, it has carried 9.6 million passengers to and from Cairo.

Today, Emirates operates 25 weekly flights between Cairo and Dubai.
