Air Cairo Introduces its New Sharm El-Sheikh to Sochi Route

On September 8, 2025, Air Cairo, Egypt’s premier low-cost carrier, officially launched its new direct flight route between Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, and Sochi, Russia. The new route will operate once a week on Sundays, aboard an Airbus A320. With the flight taking approximately 4 hours and 20 minutes to cover the 1,114 miles between these two popular tourist destinations, this new connection offers immense potential for boosting tourism and improving the ease of travel between Egypt and Russia.

This move marks a pivotal step in enhancing tourism between the two countries, particularly for Russian tourists seeking to visit Egypt’s Red Sea resorts. Both Egypt and Russia stand to benefit from this new travel link, which promises to expand travel options, improve accessibility, and increase the flow of visitors to these destinations.
