About EgyptAir
EgyptAir aircraft, Megawallpapers: EgyptAir (Arabic: مصر للطيران) is the Cairo-based national airline of Egypt. Wholly owned by the Egyptian government, it operates scheduled services to over 50 destinations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East, Australia and the USA, as well as domestic services. Its main base is Cairo International Airport. EgyptAir is a member of the Arab Air Carriers Organization. The airline was established on 7 June 1932 and started operations in July 1933. It was founded in association with the Airwork Company under the name of Misr Airwork. During the Second World War the Egyptian government took charge of the airline and its name was changed to Misr Air in 1949. In January 1961 Misr Air joined Syrian Airways to form United Arab Airlines (UAA) as a result of new political links between Egypt and Syria, but this accord was shortlived. It retained the name for a time until it changed to EgyptAir in October 1971. EgyptAir Boeing 777 landingEgyptAir was the first airline in the Middle East to operate jet liners.
