DALLAS - Egyptian "hybrid" carrier Air Cairo (SM) has introduced three 110-seat Embraer E190s and a single 180-seat Airbus A320neo as part of the airline's modernisation and expansion program.
The airline, which is 60% owned by flag carrier Egyptair (MS), plans to grow its fleet to 30 aircraft by march 2023. The four additional airframes, E190s: SU-BVG, -BVH and BVI, plus A320neo: SU-BUZ, have joined the current fleet of 16 Airbus A320 family jets plus four ATR 72-600s.
