EgyptAir (MS) July 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 6,750

Year-over-year change: -1.88%

EgyptAir handled 6,750 arriving flights in July, a -1.88% versus last year. Demand remained seasonally strong on leisure flows, while Cairo–Europe and Gulf corporate travel held steady. Capacity discipline and small trims on weaker weekend rotations likely drove the slight YoY dip; transfer traffic via Cairo was resilient.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 83.27%

Year-over-year change (on-time rate): +7.17%

Cancelled flights: 75

Year-over-year change (cancellations): -33.04%

Punctuality improved to 83.27% and cancellations fell to 75 (-33.04% YoY). Heatwaves around the Mediterranean and intermittent ATC constraints still stressed peak banks. The carrier shortened Cairo turns, pre‑positioned spares, and tightened crew/maintenance buffers to protect afternoon and overnight waves.

Key Hubs

Cairo (CAI) remains the primary hub, concentrating North Africa–Europe and Middle East flows with efficient banked connections. Alexandria Borg El Arab (HBE) and leisure nodes such as Sharm El Sheikh (SSH) and Hurghada (HRG) support seasonal peaks and inbound tourism. The network prioritizes short MCT at CAI and timed arrivals from Africa to feed evening departures to Europe and the Gulf.

Outlook

Passengers can expect reliable late‑summer operations from EgyptAir, with improving on‑time metrics and reduced cancellation risk. Plan ahead for heat‑related peaks: arrive early at Cairo and allow a comfortable connection window. Industry watchers can track schedule refinement, contingency fleet positioning, and digital tools to manage disruptions as the carrier prepares for autumn demand.
