Egypt to have its own low-cost carrier

Air Sphinx will be Egypt's first low-cost carrier and will start operating in the 2022-2023 winter season.

"The EgyptAir subsidiary will operate both domestic and international flights in an effort to provide competitively priced tickets for more affordable travel", ATOR said.

The low-cost airline is created to increase the tourist flow. At the initial stage, the carrier will operate up to 15 flights within the country. Flights are scheduled from Cairo, Hurghada, Sharm el-Sheikh, Luxor.

The Air Sphinx fleet will initially include two Boeing 737-800s.

ATOR does not rule out that the new airline will operate flights to Russia in winter. Tickets are expected to cost 25-30% less than those of EgyptAir.
