The first passengers of the flight linking Cairo and Tangier landed on Tuesday evening at Tangier Ibn Batouta airport, marking the inauguration of a new service between Tangier and the Egyptian capital.
After landing on the tarmac of Tangier airport, the Airbus A320 Neo of the AirCairo company, ensuring this first direct flight, was greeted by a “water salute”, thus passing under an arch formed of projected water jets by water cannons.
In a statement to the press, the director of AirCairo in Morocco, Hesham Farag, welcomed the launch of this line, which coincides with the 20th anniversary of the creation of the Egyptian company, adding that this “line would not have never seen the light of day without the help of the National Airports Office (ONDA) and the management of Tangier airport.
This new line, the second after that linking Casablanca to Alexandria, will attract Moroccan travelers wishing to visit Egypt or just passing through and allow Egyptian travelers to be able to visit Morocco, he continued. For his part, the director of Tangier airport, Mohamed Bahaj, indicated that the opening of this line is an opportunity to strengthen the air supply of the city of the strait, which is experiencing growing and significant dynamics in terms of air traffic, noting that Tangier airport experienced record attendance in 2023.
