EgyptAir flew to Tokyo from Cairo yesterday for the first time following a four-year suspension, Ahram Gate reports. The flight was originally intended to depart on Saturday but was postponed to Sunday due to bad weather conditions at Tokyo’s Narita International Airport. EgyptAir will run direct flights to Tokyo every Saturday and will consider additional trips if there is demand. This came as Marsa Alam received the first RyanAir flight out of Ukraine on Sunday, with 171 passengers on board. The flight will operate three times a week.

More air traffic with Egypt: China Southern Airlines said it would launch daily direct flights to Cairo out of Guangzhou early next year, without specifying a date, and Kuwait’s newly revived Wataniya airways will be also be flying daily to Cairo as of next summer.
