EgyptAir Cargo adds route to Chad in Africa

March 29, 2016

EgyptAir Cargo has launched its first flight to N’Djamena in Chad carrying 40 tonnes of cargo.

This is part of the carrier’s strategy aiming at operating new routes around the globe and also boosting its position in the African market.

Media reports say the Cairo-based airline had negotiated with authorities in Chad about entering the market and carried out studies of the African marketplace.

EgyptAir Cargo operates its own dedicated aircraft and bellyhold capacity of EgyptAir.
