The aircraft is the latest addition to the national carrier’s fleet as part of efforts to modernize its operations. Civil Aviation Minister Sameh El-Hefny said the plane represents a step toward upgrading EgyptAir’s capacity to serve passengers in line with international standards.
In a statement, the presidency said the move falls within broader plans to develop Egypt’s civil aviation sector and strengthen the country’s role as a regional air transport hub.
EgyptAir’s fleet currently comprises about 70 aircraft operating long-, medium-, and short-haul routes, manufactured by Airbus and Boeing.
Earlier on Monday, el-Sisi visited Abu Dhabi, where he held talks with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
