CAIRO – 16 October 2017: Egypt Air delegation headed Monday to Boeing Headquarters in Seattle to receive a new Boeing Jet.
The eighth Boeing B737-800 NG airplane from the 737 Max family will arrive to Cairo in a couple of days, as part of a deal for nine airplanes that EgyptAir had purchased to join its fleet.
