Cairo Aviation (originally Air Cairo until autumn 2003 ) was an Egyptian charter airline based in Cairo and based at Cairo International Airport .
history
The airline was founded in 1997 by the Egyptian entrepreneur Ibrahim Kamil under the name Air Cairo in Cairo . Via the Egyptian leasing company Sirocco Aerospace International , which also belonged to Ibrahim Kamil, the company initially rented two brand-new Tupolew Tu-204-120s , with which operations began in November 1998. Further leased passenger and cargo aircraft of this type were then taken over. Air Cairo used the aircraft in ad hoc charter traffic on passenger and cargo flights. In addition, the company operated its cargo planes temporarily in wet lease for the logistics group TNT Express , where they wore its corporate colors.
In autumn 2003, Ibrahim Kamil founded with Egypt Air and the Banque du Caire one more airline that primarily IT charter flights should perform. At the same time, Air Cairo ceded its name to the new company and was renamed Cairo Aviation . The company then continued to operate passenger and cargo flights on an ad hoc basis and also flew sub-charters for Egypt Air . In early 2010, the company's fleet consisted of five Tupolev Tu-204-120s, including two Tu-204-120S version cargo planes.
