EgyptAir

EGYPTAIR is the national airline of Egypt and one of the world's pioneer carriers. Established in May 1932 as the seventh airline in the world, it began commercial operations with a Spartan Cruiser flying from Cairo to Alexandria. Since 1 July 2002, by Presidential Decree 137/2002, EGYPTAIR has been a holding company with seven subsidiaries covering airline operations and related services. It joined the Star Alliance network, the world's largest airline alliance, on 17 July 2008, and has code share agreements with selected airlines around the world.

History

Twelve De Havilland aircraft were added in the early years. During the Second World War the Egyptian government took over the airline and renamed it Misr Airlines, later MisrAir, which bought ten Beechcraft and then ten Vickers Vikings and the French Languedoc. A merger with Syrian Airlines created United Arab Airlines (UAA), which became the first Middle Eastern carrier to operate Comet 4C jets and then the Boeing 707-320C on longer international routes. After MisrAir and Syrian Airlines separated, the airline took the EGYPTAIR name.
