Egypt's quiet carrier linking Cairo to Tel Aviv.

Founded
1982
Headquarters
Cairo, Egypt
Air Sinai is an Egyptian airline established as a subsidiary of EgyptAir, operating limited scheduled services primarily between Cairo and Tel Aviv. It was created in the aftermath of the Egypt-Israel peace treaty to facilitate air travel between the two countries while allowing EgyptAir to maintain some political distance from the sensitive route. The airline operates with a very small fleet and minimal public presence, intentionally keeping a low profile given the political sensitivities surrounding Egyptian-Israeli relations. It does not prominently market itself and lacks a conventional consumer-facing brand image. Despite its quiet operation, Air Sinai has played a historically significant role as one of the few carriers maintaining direct air links between Egypt and Israel for decades, reflecting the enduring but often strained peace between the two nations.
Hubs & network
Air Sinai primarily operates from Cairo International Airport (CAI).
Fleet
Air Sinai operates a small fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft on its limited route network.
