A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between EgyptAir and ALO Dhaka Aviation Ltd was signed in Cairo on August 18 with a view to operating two schedule flights per week between Dhaka and Cairo, starting from November 2021.
Although EgyptAir is operating now at 65% of its capacity, it agreed to start Cairo-Dhaka-Cairo direct flights to boost its vital tourism sector, according to the Foreign Ministry.
This will, however, provide a cheaper option to Bangladeshi passengers and cargos destined for Europe and North America, being an alternative to Dubai and Istanbul.
Our expatriates and businesspersons are expected to be benefitted as well.
