EGYPTAIR, Egypt’s national carrier, has signed a landmark strategic partnership with Huawei to enhance corporate travel services and accelerate the country’s digital transformation agenda. Central to the collaboration is a Business Travel Agreement that designates EGYPTAIR as the preferred airline for Huawei personnel, while Huawei integrates its advanced ICT and AI technologies across the airline’s operations.
The partnership is designed to modernise EGYPTAIR’s infrastructure, boost operational efficiency, and deliver a seamless travel experience for business passengers. Huawei’s Smartcom platform will play a pivotal role, enabling AI-powered decision-making, faster check-ins, personalised services, and enhanced in-flight experiences. This integration supports the airline’s ongoing fleet modernisation and its expansion to more than 80 destinations worldwide.
Captain Mohamed Elian, CEO of EGYPTAIR Airlines, noted that Huawei travellers will benefit from exclusive services across the airline’s global network. The partnership also reinforces EGYPTAIR’s ambition to strengthen its role in the business travel market while diversifying its customer base.
Beyond aviation, the collaboration is expected to positively impact Egypt’s broader tourism and business ecosystem. Enhanced travel services for corporate travellers, particularly in technology and business sectors, will help position Egypt as a regional hub for both tourism and international business. Huawei’s global footprint further amplifies Egypt’s appeal to international travellers and supports the government’s goal of boosting the nation’s digital economy.
Future plans may see deeper integration of AI-based travel assistants, smart baggage handling, and expanded digital services, creating a fully connected passenger journey. Together, EGYPTAIR and Huawei aim to redefine corporate travel in Egypt, elevating efficiency, connectivity, and customer experience to global standards.
