EgyptAir has revealed the factors influencing its ticket pricing structure, with foreign currency expenses accounting for around 87 percent of its total operational costs. Captain Ahmed Adel, Chairman of the EgyptAir Holding Company, discussed the impact of exchange rates and international costs on ticket price adjustments during an interview on MBC Masr's El Hekaya program.
Adel explained that ticket rates fluctuate based on seasonal demand throughout the year, and the airline offers promotional discounts of up to 50 percent during peak travel windows, such as year-end and Christmas holidays, to mitigate costs for travelers. Despite high foreign currency demands, EgyptAir has managed to return to substantial profitability and improve its global rankings.
The national carrier has secured 46th place among the world's top airlines and ranked 20th globally for best cabin crew performance. Adel credited the success to the dedicated efforts of the airline's workforce and support from the Ministry of Civil Aviation. Additionally, EgyptAir has implemented an in-flight telemedicine project to enhance passenger safety, allowing doctors to connect with flight crews online to handle medical emergencies during flights. Currently, the airline transports approximately 11.4 million passengers annually.
