EgyptAir resumed on Friday flights between Borg El-Arab International Airport in the northern goveronorate of Alexandria and Dubai International Airport. Egypt's flagship carrier said it will operate three weekly flights between the two airports. Egypt has resumed international flights in July, after suspending all air travel in March due to coronavirus. EgyptAir said two weekly flights will be added to Oman's Muscat; the Jordanian capital of Amman, and South Africa's Johannesburg, as well as a weekly flight to Rwanda's Kigali and Ugandan Entebbe.

However, travellers entering Egypt at any of four airports in the Red Sea governorate and South Sinai can take a coronavirus test upon arrival.

The company will operate 60 flights on Saturday to Iraqi capital of Baghdad, Ghana's capital of Accra, Nigeria's Lagos and Abuja, Tunisian capital of Tunis, Kenya's capital of Nairobi and Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.
