Wizz Air to launch new flight to Cairo

Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, has confirmed that Wizz Air is launching a new flight three times a week to Cairo from Oct. 30 in the wake of “lengthy negotiations” and diplomatic efforts. Hitherto, Cairo International Airport had “basically excluded” low-cost airlines, he said in a Facebook post. He said that Hungary’s government had kept the issue on the agenda at every meeting since 2022 until the Egyptian tourism ministry issued the necessary paperwork. “A new destination has become available, and a new economic link has been created between two countries,” he said.
