Egyptian low-cost carrier operating Airbus A320 services from Alexandria to destinations across the Middle East and Europe.
About Air Arabia Egypt
Air Arabia Egypt is an Egyptian low-cost carrier formed in 2009 and launched commercially in 2010. It was established as a joint venture involving Sharjah-based Air Arabia and Egypt’s Travco Group. The airline uses Air Arabia’s brand and low-cost operating model while flying under its own Egyptian operating certificate, IATA code E5 and ICAO code RBG.
Alexandria is the carrier’s busiest departure hub, with flights using Borg El Arab International Airport. Air Arabia Egypt operates 12 routes serving seven destinations across five countries. Its network connects Alexandria with regional and international markets including Amman, Dammam, Jeddah, Kuwait City, Milan and Riyadh, reflecting strong demand for family, employment, business and leisure travel.
The aircraft type recorded for Air Arabia Egypt is the Airbus Industrie A320, a narrow-body jet commonly used for short-haul and medium-haul services. Aircraft have a single economy-class cabin consistent with the airline’s low-cost model. Checked baggage, meals, preferred seating and other optional services may require separate payment or inclusion in a higher fare bundle.
Air Arabia Egypt is not a member of Star Alliance, SkyTeam or Oneworld. Travellers can instead use AirRewards, the loyalty programme shared across the Air Arabia group. Members can earn points through eligible flights, ancillary purchases and participating partners, then redeem them subject to programme conditions. This provides some loyalty recognition despite the absence of a global airline alliance.
The airline’s focused network offers useful nonstop links between Alexandria and several important Middle Eastern and European cities, including a direct connection with Milan. Its limited scale is also a practical constraint: passengers may find fewer departure days, connecting options or schedule alternatives than on larger airlines. Because fares are unbundled, travellers should compare the complete price after adding baggage, meals and seat selection.
