EgyptAir Holding Company · Cairo Egypt

Guess what EgyptAir does, and where it's based. Give up? The company is, of course, the national airline of Egypt. Serving nearly 70 destinations in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, the carrier also flies throughout the Middle East and to several domestic locations. It operates a fleet of about 40 aircraft, consisting mostly of Airbus jets. EgyptAir owns a cargo carrier, a ground handling services company, an aircraft maintenance company, and a hospital. It also owns stakes in three regional carriers -- Air Cairo, Air Sinai, and EgyptAir Express. Founded in 1932, the airline is owned by the Egyptian government; it announced but later canceled plans to sell 20% of the company to employees and the public. To read the full description, subscribe now.
