CAIRO – Egypt’s national airline will cease flights to Japan until further notice because of massive economic losses and a lack of support from both governments.
In a statement Saturday, EgyptAir said that several of its routes have become an economic burden, especially those to Tokyo and Osaka.
Earlier this month, Egypt’s civil aviation minister told Parliament that the national airline’s losses had almost reached 6 billion Egyptian pounds ($900 million), forcing it to reduce flights.
