bmi to launch Flights between Heathrow and Cairo

UK-based carrier, bmi, is to launch a new destination as well as introduce major enhancements to its network of services from Heathrow with effect from 28 October this year.

bmi is to launch daily flights from London to the Egyptian capital of Cairo. The new competitive service will be operated by an Airbus A320 aircraft in a two class business and economy configuration.

bmi has also signed a memorandum of understanding with EgyptAir, which will see the carriers enter into reciprocal codeshare and frequent flyer agreements shortly. This will enable passengers to benefit from reciprocal flight codes on each airline’s flights as well as frequent flyer programme rewards and benefits. Return fares on the new bmi service to Cairo will start from £878 business and £299 economy (including taxes and charges).

From 28 October the Jordanian capital of Amman and the Lebanese capital of Beirut each benefit with an increase in direct frequency, with daily services available to both locations.
