Egypt Air has announced
the increase of its frequencies to Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport
(MAKIA).
The carrier has equally
announced the upgrades it has done and the quality of services to its
customers.
This is coming as the carrier
has entered into a partnership with Kano-based Darma Air Services Limited for
Umrah.
The carrier is expected to
operate ten flights for the lesser Hajj from Kano aside from the yearly Hajj
pilgrimage it would also undertake.
Egypt Air’s Country Manager,
Muharram Abdel Rahman in a statement yesterday at the airline’s office in Lagos
said before now, EgyptAir used to operate three flights into Kano.
His words, “But it is our pleasure
to inform you that with effect from April 14, 2022, we have increased our
frequency into Kano to four flights weekly on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and
Saturday”.
“We have also upgraded our
aircraft on the route to an Airbus A330 which is equipped with on-board WIFI,
personal charging ports, personal TV screens, and increased legroom for all our
passengers in economy in a 2-4-2 configuration”.
He further stated that the
aircraft has 26 Business Class full flatbed seats all luxuriously fitted with
state-of-the-art facilities.
“Furthermore, we are currently
in the process of increasing our frequencies out of Lagos to ten (10) weekly
flights subject to approval by the Ministry of Aviation”.
Egypt and Nigeria have a very
strong diplomatic relationship and we believe these new frequencies will allow
both countries to further deepen this relationship.
It will also give their
esteemed customers more choices and opportunities to connect to more than 80
destinations in the world through our hub in Cairo.
Egypt Air is also a Star
Alliance member and with this, we can connect our customers to more than 120
destinations around the world.
Managing Director of Darma Air
Services Limited, Usman Darma expressed delight with plans by Egypt Air to
raise its frequencies to four into Kano coupled with its partnership with the
airline on Umrah and Hajj.
He further lauded the quality
services to the wide range of the carrier’s customers, especially transit
passengers.
