The Egyptian airline was originally established as Misr Airwork, a joint venture between the Egyptian government's Banque Misr (85 percent) and the British aviation company Airwork Limited.

Later, it became known as Misrair and underwent subsequent name changes due to mergers and political developments.

It operates a fleet of more than 70 aircraft serving major destinations worldwide and is a member of the Star Alliance, the world's first global airline alliance, since 2008.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2023/2024, the airline carried 2.8 million passengers and operated over 10,000 flights, with a commitment to further expansion.
