EgyptAir canceled flight MS779, scheduled to take off from Cairo Airport to Heathrow Airport on Thursday, as well as its flight MS780, which is scheduled to take off from Heathrow Airport to Cairo Airport on the same day.
The company said in a statement that the decision came in accordance with instructions issued by the authorities concerned at Heathrow Airport in London to some airlines operating there, including EgyptAir, to limit and reduce the daily operating capacity at the airport and the resulting number of passengers traveling daily to Heathrow Airport.
The company called on its customers traveling on the two flights to review reservations through the EgyptAir call center in Cairo at 1717 from any Egyptian mobile or +97142306666 internationally, or by visiting the Egyptair website or the nearest Egyptair sales office or tourist agent.
