Lufthansa has decided to increase the number of flights from Egypt to German cities to 33 flights a week, up from 29 previously, as the demand for flights to Egypt has been increasing this year, Lufthansa Country Manager Ziad Gabalawy said on Sunday. “All statistics and indicators show that the demand for Egypt is gradually increasing this year. [We previously had] 29 regular weekly flights to and from Cairo airport from Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Zurich,” Gabalawy said. Gabalawy explained that flights to Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada and Marsa Allam are operating through Lufthansa’s subsidiary Euro-Tex, which organizes weekly flights to the Red Sea destinations. According to German tourism portal FVW, the number of Germans visiting the country rose by more than one-third in the first three months of this year.
