Transavia launches winter season with first flight to Cairo

Transavia has officially launched its 2025/2026 winter season with the inaugural flight from Amsterdam Schiphol to Cairo, marking the airline’s first scheduled service to the Egyptian capital. The festive gate event featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Pieter Wensveen, CFO of Transavia, and H.E. Emad Magdy Hanna Kamel, the Egyptian Ambassador to the Netherlands.

The new Amsterdam–Cairo route will operate three times per week, expanding Transavia’s presence in North Africa and responding to growing demand for travel to Egypt, for leisure, family visits, and business.

Pieter Wensveen said:

“With Cairo, we are not only adding a beautiful and historic destination to our network, but also strengthening the connection between the Netherlands and Egypt. We’re proud to offer our passengers the opportunity to visit this unique city.”

Ambassador Kamel added:

“This new connection underlines the strong ties between our two countries and opens fresh opportunities for tourism, trade, and cultural exchange.”

The Cairo launch marks the start of Transavia’s expanded winter schedule, which introduces several new destinations across Europe and North Africa, including:

• Rotterdam – Seville (from 28 October)
• Amsterdam – Marsa Alam (from 1 November)
• Brussels – Agadir (from 3 November)
• Amsterdam – Rabat (from 13 November)
• Amsterdam – Oujda (from 10 December)

With these additions, Transavia continues to strengthen its role as a leading leisure and family airline connecting the Netherlands, Belgium, and France with sun destinations across Europe and North Africa.
