EgyptAir plans to introduce a new service connecting Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport in Australia to Cairo via Singapore Changi Airport starting from 2027 to create a direct link between Australia and Egypt. Sydney Airport confirmed the proposal on Wednesday, 9 September, following EgyptAir’s disclosure of the route at the El Alamein International Airshow in Egypt which ran from 8 to 10 September. However, the service is still subject to regulatory approval. The proposed route is expected to be operated using the Airbus A350-900, to provide travellers with easier access to Egypt and offer more connections across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East through EgyptAir’s network. The proposed Sydney–Singapore–Cairo link covers approximately 7,859 nautical miles, or around 14,555 kilometres, each way. With the launch planned for 2027, EgyptAir is expected to become the second African airline to fly to Australia, following South African Airways. Sydney airport stated that the service would become the first direct link from Sydney to Cairo for Singapore and Australia.
