The airline urged its customers to stay updated and reach out through its call centre inside Egypt on 2727 or 090072727, or through their travel agents, to arrange rebooking or ticket refunds.
Customers outside Egypt were advised to contact Air Cairo's offices and agents abroad for the latest updates and procedures.
Air Cairo said it was continuously monitoring developments in coordination with the relevant authorities, and would inform customers of any updates as soon as possible.
The airport closure comes amid a sharp escalation between Yemen's Houthi movement and Saudi Arabia.
Houthi forces said on Monday they had struck Abha International Airport in southwestern Saudi Arabia with a combined missile and drone attack, in retaliation for earlier Saudi strikes on Sanaa International Airport in Yemen.
Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Saudi Arabia is responsible for striking Sanaa's airport and any resulting consequences.
The Saudi-led coalition said the Houthis had launched missiles toward the kingdom following the strikes on Sanaa airport, with coalition spokesman Turki al-Maliki saying air defences intercepted a ballistic missile threat over the country's southern region.
The Houthis also warned airlines against flying through Saudi airspace altogether, calling on them to take the warning seriously until what they described as the "blockade" on Sanaa International Airport is lifted.
Saudi Arabia's strikes on Sanaa's airport had reportedly aimed to prevent an Iranian aircraft carrying a Houthi delegation from landing there.
The exchange marks one of the most serious escalations between the two sides since a UN-brokered truce took hold in Yemen's civil war in 2022, effectively unwinding a de-escalation understanding reached between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed Yemeni government in July 2024.
