Egyptair is joining other African airlines in the battle for the growing African aviation market. Speaking to reporters at a media event in Cairo last October, new EgyptAir group chairman and chief executive Hussein Massoud said the airline was restructuring its network.

“We have already finished the first phase and now we are working on the second phase to enlarge our network, with the co-operation of Star Alliance.

We are concentrating our co-operation with Star Alliance to be a hub for Africa. We have several points in east Africa and have more (to follow) and are selecting some destinations in west Africa.
