EgyptAir plans direct flights between Singapore and Cairo from early 2027

According to a press release by the three parties, Egypt was the largest African market without a direct flight connection for both Singapore and Australia in 2025, based on the number of people travelling between the destinations.

Beyond providing another travel option, the service is also expected to strengthen economic and cultural links between Egypt, Singapore and Australia.

Cairo, Egypt’s capital, is home to sites including the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The River Nile also flows through the city, while other destinations in Egypt include the resort cities of Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh, as well as Al-Alamain on the country’s Mediterranean coast.

Currently, travellers flying from Singapore to Egypt generally have to make at least one stop, such as in Bahrain when flying with Gulf Air, Dubai with Emirates or Doha with Qatar Airways.

Further details about the proposed service, including flight schedules and fares, have yet to be announced and will be released by EgyptAir at a later date.
