EgyptAir Cargo

EgyptAir Cargo functions as the dedicated freight division of Egypt’s national flag carrier, providing scheduled and chartered air cargo services. Operating from a primary hub at Cairo International Airport, the organisation bridges the logistics gap between Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. It integrates belly-hold capacity from the parent airline's passenger fleet with a dedicated fleet of wide-body freighters to facilitate the transport of perishables, pharmaceuticals, and general merchandise. The carrier manages its own extensive ground handling facilities and cargo terminals, serving both its own fleet and third-party international airlines. Key operations involve the deployment of converted Airbus freighter aircraft to major logistics hubs such as Ostend, Sharjah, and Istanbul. It maintains strategic partnerships through the Star Alliance network and collaborates with global freight forwarders to manage transshipment volumes across its regional network. Prospective partners should verify the current operational status and technical specifications of the freighter fleet, as the organisation has undergone several fleet renewal cycles involving passenger-to-freighter conversions. Buyers should also confirm specific handling certifications for sensitive goods, including IATA CEIV standards for pharmaceuticals, and evaluate the availability of cold-chain infrastructure at the Cairo hub to ensure compliance with international shipping regulations.
