beOnd and Air Cairo plan all-premium flights linking Egypt with Europe and the Gulf from summer 2027

The all-premium airline beOnd and Air Cairo plan to launch beOnd-branded flights connecting Egypt with Europe and the Gulf from summer 2027, the two companies announced in London on 5 November 2026. Under a memorandum of understanding signed in Cairo on 22 October, Air Cairo will operate the flights, and bookings are planned to open in the first half of 2027.

The flights will use Airbus aircraft fitted with the beOnd cabin, which the airline says is designed and made in Italy and in which every seat is a lie-flat bed. The partners say the aircraft will also be available for premium charters for luxury brands, private groups and tour partners. Specific routes and schedules are to be announced in the coming months.

The announcement was made at World Travel Market in the presence of Egypt's Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Sherif Fathy, who said such partnerships reflect a commitment to closer cooperation with the aviation sector. beOnd chief executive Tero Taskila said the aim is to start the holiday at home rather than at the hotel, and Air Cairo chairman and chief executive Hussein Sherif called it the start of a strong partnership.

The release does not name the Egyptian or European airports involved, the aircraft model, the frequencies or the commercial structure beyond the memorandum. Travellers interested in the service should wait for the confirmed routes and schedules before planning trips.
