Wizz Air & easyJet Launch New London Luton to Cairo Routes!

Exciting news for travelers: Wizz Air and easyJet have officially expanded their networks into the "Greatest City in Africa!" Both airlines are now operating direct flights from London Luton Airport to Sphinx International Airport in Cairo.

This strategic move brings the iconic Pyramids of Giza and the brand-new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) right to your doorstep. Located on the western edge of the city, Sphinx International Airport offers much faster access to the Giza Plateau than the traditional Cairo International Airport—often reachable in as little as 15 to 20 minutes.

Airline Updates & New Routes

  • Wizz Air: Operating multiple times a week, Wizz Air continues to see high demand for its Egypt-bound services. These flights are part of a broader expansion that includes new routes from various European hubs to Cairo.
  • easyJet: Marking its 157th destination, easyJet’s new Cairo route joins its successful Liverpool to Hurghada service, providing affordable access to both the historic capital and the stunning Red Sea Riviera.

“From Sphinx International Airport, travellers have so much ancient history at their fingertips to discover. With slightly cooler temperatures in winter, it’s the perfect time to explore this vibrant destination.” — Marion Geoffroy, Managing Director of Wizz Air UK
