Emirates to Lift DubaiCairo to Five Daily Flights; Six Weekly Extras Start Dec. 1

The move targets peak winter demand, using 777-300ERs to boost Asian connections plus belly-cargo capacity.

Overview

  • Six additional weekly flights begin on December 1, 2025, increasing to a daily fifth frequency on February 1, 2026.
  • The new rotation operates as EK 929/930 with published December–January timings and revised early-morning departures from February.
  • Operations use Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with schedules optimized for connections to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
  • Emirates estimates roughly 300 tonnes of added weekly cargo capacity for Egypt, supporting exports such as fresh produce via SkyCargo.
  • Once the fifth daily service is live, Cairo becomes Emirates’ most served city in Africa, building on its leading A380 deployment in MENA outside Dubai.
