The Egyptian holiday airline Air Cairo has taken delivery of the first Airbus A320neo. The machine with the registration SU-BUK was transferred from Hamburg-Finkenwerder to Cairo at the beginning of the week. Another two machines of this type are to be handed over to the carrier this year.

Air Cairo leases the first copy from ICBC. The other two A320neo are to be purchased from Gecas. All three new additions are equipped with 186 seats in all-economy seating. The three Airbus A320neo will significantly reduce the average fleet age. The seven A320ceo that you already have are on average 11,7 years old.

Air Cairo is a 60 percent subsidiary of Egypt Air. The government announced that it is in negotiations for a further three A320neo. The holiday airline is to be expanded to around 2024 A24neo by 320. In Germany, Austria and Switzerland they are cooperating with SunExpress this year. The Turkish carrier is dependent on the partner from Egypt, otherwise one would no longer get route rights due to the closure of SunExpress Germany.
