The two airlines will offer all servics between Germany and Egypt with joint flight numbers: the code-sharing will be introduced on the services between Frankfurt and Munich to Cairo, as well as those from Frankfurt to Alexandria. Further codeshare services, especially to the tourism centres of Egypt and North Africa, are being planned, following official approval by the air traffic authorities. EgyptAir is also planning to transfer its flight numbers to Lufthansa flights within Germany and Europe as well as to North America. EgyptAir’s Chairman Hamid stated “our cooperation with Lufthansa represents a strategic alliance which will enhance our European market. This comes as a part of our corporate strategy aimed at forging partnerships with leading airlines in targeted markets. The code share between Egypt Air and Lufthansa will certainly lead to the enhancement of the product.” The carriers will offer mutually-coordinated timetables, with more flight possibilities and better connections between Germany and Egypt. In addition, participants in the frequent flyer program of the two airlines will be able to collect miles on the route networks of Egypt Air and Lufthansa and redeem them with both airlines.
