State-run carrier EgyptAir to resume flights to Ghana, Nigeria this week

Egypt’s state-run carrier EgyptAir announced on Monday the resumption of flights to Accra and Abuja, the capitals of Ghana and Nigeria, respectively, as well as Lagos in Nigeria, later this week.

EgyptAir said it will operate three weekly direct flights to Nigeria starting 8 September and two weekly flights to Ghana starting 10 September.

Egypt has resumed flights to a number of international destinations in July after a lockdown was effected on 19 March due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Two days ago, the company announced the resumption of flights between Cairo and Moscow mid-September, a few days after Russia announced the resumption of flights to several countries including Egypt.
