Egyptian airline Air Cairo is expanding its presence in Georgia and launching direct flights between Cairo and Batumi. The carrier has been operating in the Georgian market for over 10 years, but until now there have been no direct flights between the Egyptian capital and the Black Sea resort.
According to the Civil Aviation Agency, flights will be operated during the summer season of 2026. These are non-scheduled flights on the Cairo - Batumi - Cairo route: they are scheduled once a week, on Tuesdays, from June 30 to September 22.
The agency notes that the launch of the new route actually creates an additional tourist corridor between the two countries. This will simplify logistics for tour operators and allow for more active development of the mutual flow of tourists. Air Cairo already operates weekly flights between Sharm el-Sheikh and Tbilisi, and the new route could significantly strengthen the company's position in the region.
