BA to go double daily on Cairo route
British Airways will start operating a second daily flight from London Heathrow Terminal 5 to Cairo, Egypt, later this year.
The new service will operate seven days a week from 31 October 2021, complementing the existing daily flight to Cairo.
Tickets are now on sale with return fares from £315 from London.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways’ Director of Network and Alliances, said: "Our London to Cairo route is particularly popular with those around the world visiting friends and relatives, which we know is more important than ever for many of our customers."
The new schedule also provides more options to connect onto British Airways’ transatlantic network, enabling us to bring even more people together."
The service will operate on British Airways’ short-haul Airbus fleet.
The new expanded schedule will offer a choice of morning and afternoon departures.
