Sphinx International Airport welcomed the first easyJet flight arriving from Manchester, UK, carrying approximately 160 passengers. This marks a new step in strengthening air connectivity between Egypt and the United Kingdom and expanding the airport’s international destinations during the winter season.

To celebrate the inaugural flight, the airport’s Public Relations team welcomed passengers with flowers, reflecting the airport’s commitment to providing a pleasant arrival experience.

The Manchester–Sphinx route is scheduled to operate twice weekly, offering additional travel options and supporting inbound tourism to Egypt. Airport departments and relevant authorities also coordinated to ensure operational readiness, facilitate arrival and departure procedures, and maintain smooth passenger flow.

This development comes as part of the efforts of the Egyptian Airports Company, headed by Captain Wael El Nashar, to develop airport operations, improve operational efficiency and passenger services, and strengthen cooperation with airlines to expand international routes and accommodate the growing demand for travel and tourism.
