Egyptian Air Taxi expands its operations
Air Taxi Egypt has announced the addition of six new helicopters to its fleet for flights to Cairo and the North Coast. At the initial stage, the company had only four Leonardo AW139 helicopters, which were available in standard and VIP configurations with 8 and 12 seats.
The service, launched in October 2025, offers helicopter transportation for business people and tourists. The project was introduced with an investment of 5 billion Egyptian pounds (about $100 million) through a partnership involving Abu Dhabi Aviation, TCM Economic Consulting and the Egyptian Air Force.
Air Taxi Egypt operates flights from Almaza Airport and covers destinations including the New Capital, Sheikh Zayed, the North Coast, Siwa, El Gouna, Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada, Luxor and Aswan.
The company also offers sightseeing flights over Greater Cairo. Its ‘Soaring Above History’ route includes aerial views of the Giza Pyramids, the Sphinx, Saqqara, Dahshour and the Grand Egyptian Museum, while a separate City Tour focuses on modern Cairo.
