Thani Al Ansari, Egypt and Libya manager for commercial operations at Fly Emirates, told Daily News Egypt that his company is offering special packages to Egyptians who will travel to support their national football team at the FIFA World Cup Russia in June. “Now we operate three daily flights between Egypt and the Emirates; Cairo airport’s Terminal 2 is well structured,” noted Al Ansari, adding that operating new flights with Egypt depends on the two countries’ leadership decisions, not only Fly Emirates. Meanwhile, Al Ansari noted that his company is focused on Cairo International Airport and is not considering operating in other Egyptian airports at the moment. However, relations with Egypt are strategic, he said, and Fly Emirates is very keen on boosting bilateral cooperation. Al Ansari noted that Boeing’s new planes will enter service in 2020, while the Airbus planes will gradually enter operation, adding, “we already have the largest Boeing and Airbus in the world”.
