EgyptAir, established in May 1932, is celebrating its seventy–fifth anniversary this year. It is the leading carrier in the Middle East and Africa. Throughout its 75 years of service and, as a result of continuous investments, EgyptAir has successfully extended its network over the years to reach 60 cities in 44 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and North America. It also serves all domestic destinations – more than 1,200 weekly flights – with one of the most modern fleets with an average age of eight years. Egypt Air has recently upgraded its passenger's facilities in response to customer’s demands for optimal travel. This week EgyptAir was officially invited to join the Star Alliance of which Lufthansa is a founding member.

Lufthansa German Airlines was founded in 1926, and has since developed into one of the world’s leading airlines. Lufthansa is setting new records for the first nine months 2007 with 45.8 million passengers welcomed on board its flights. The Lufthansa group increased its operating profit in the first nine months by 57 per cent to 1.1 billion Euros. That would represent a new record in terms of profit for the Lufthansa Group. The result provides Lufthansa with a solid foundation to strengthen their position against the competition, which is precisely the aim.
The Lufthansa Group employs approx. 93,500 people from more than 150 countries of which more than 35,000 work with Lufthansa Passage Airlines.
