Egypt’s national carrier, EgyptAir, has announced an indefinite suspension of all flights from Cairo to several major regional hubs as the conflict in the Middle East continues to escalate. The suspension affects key routes to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Beirut, Doha, Amman, Dammam, Bahrain, Baghdad, Erbil, and Kuwait. EgyptAir emphasized that the move is strictly a safety precaution designed to protect passengers and crew from potential risks in the volatile regional corridor. Passengers currently booked on affected flights are urged to contact the airline immediately to manage their reservations. Assistance is available via the EgyptAir call center (1717 within Egypt), through their website, or by visiting the nearest ticketing office.
