EgyptAir Records All-Time High for Air Traffic to North America

Despite only having three non-stop routes to the continent heading to New York’s JFK Airport, Toronto, and Washington DC’s Dulles, EgyptAir accounts for 91% of total air traffic from Egypt to North America. Even more recently, its total number of passengers has hit an all-time high.

Compared to 385,095 passnegers in 2021 and 253,128 passengers in 2020, EgyptAir is projected to board 495,393 passengers in 2022 to North America. The airline announced that they are preparing 117 weekly services between Cairo and North America. That’s the highest number of services to the continent they’ve ever had. The airline plans to maintain this massive volume of flights for at least six weeks.

EgyptAir will send one flight a day to New York and Toronto, while they will send flights to Washington DC three times a week.
