Egypt Air expands long-haul fleet with leased A330-200

Egypt Air, the Egyptian national airline, is further expanding its long-haul fleet. As reported by the portal News Aero, the airline has added another Airbus A330-200 to its fleet. The 17-year-old aircraft arrived in Cairo on April 25. Previously, the aircraft was operated by Hi Fly Malta and Gullivair, among others, and is now leased to Egypt Air by the leasing company DAE Capital.

This new Airbus A330-200 joins Egypt Air's existing long-haul fleet, which already consists of four A330-200s, four A330-300s, five Boeing 777-300 ERs, and eight Boeing 787-8s. The current fleet also includes three Airbus A320neos and 14 Airbus A220s. Looking ahead, the airline plans to further rejuvenate and expand its long-haul capacity with the delivery of ten Airbus A350-900s, which it has already ordered.
