EgyptAir will resume direct flights between Cairo and Moscow as of 12 April, CEO Safwat Musallam announced in a statement. The national carrier will operate flights on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, he said, and tickets are now on sale. The news came days after Russian airline Aeroflot announced it would resume direct flights for the same route on 11 April, starting with three weekly flights set to increase to daily flights from 12 June to 2 July to accommodate the World Cup. Tez Tours has since begun selling travel packages to Hurghada, according to Al Mal.
