Emirates is introducing a regular scheduled commercial A380 service to the Egyptian capital, Cairo, starting from 27 October 2019, four times a week. Emirates is the only airline to operate a scheduled A380 service to Cairo, replacing the 777-300ER aircraft currently operating EK923 and EK924 on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with the A380.
Earlier this year, Emirates announced it will also increase the frequency of flights between Dubai and Cairo, adding four additional flights a week to its existing thrice-daily service, starting 28 October, 2019. The four new flights EK921 and EK922, operating on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, will take the total number of weekly Emirates flights serving Cairo, to 25. Along with the new A380 service, Emirates will now offer 9,200 seats per week in each direction, offering Egyptian travellers even greater connectivity to the world, and boosting trade and tourism into Egypt.
The Emirates Airbus A380 aircraft serving the Dubai-Cairo route will offer a total of 489 seats in a three-class configuration, with 399 spacious seats in Economy Class, 76 fully flat-bed seats in Business Class and 14 First Class Private Suites. Australians travelling with the airline will be able to experience Emirates award-winning entertainment system, ice, which offers up to 4,500 channels of audio and visual entertainment, including live TV, movies, TV shows and music. First Class passengers can relax and revitalise in one of the two A380 Shower Spas, and First Class and Business Class passengers are welcome in the Onboard Lounge to enjoy an extensive range of beverages and delicacies.
Premium customers, and Platinum and Gold Skywards members can additionally enjoy the dedicated Emirates Lounge in Cairo airport which opened in 2018.
