Summary sheet
Acquisition of 7 Airbus A330-200 with corresponding spare engines as part of EgyptAir fleet renewal programme.
The project will contribute to the modernisation of EgyptAir’s fleet, leading to lower operating costs and improved service quality. It will also adapt aircraft capacity to accommodate future traffic growth. These elements constitute an improvement of transport links to and within Egypt, helping the economic development of the country.
The proposed aircraft will comply with all current and likely future environmental standards on noise and emissions. In fact, the replacement of the older aircraft is beneficial to the environment (energy saving and lower emissions compared to the existing aircraft).
EgyptAir did a comprehensive analysis of its fleet development options and negotiated with all suitable suppliers. This procedure is in line with industry standards and in the best interest of the project.
