SINGAPORE, 14 September 2026: EgyptAir, Changi Airport Group and Sydney Airport have announced plans for a new service connecting Cairo, Singapore and Sydney from early 2027.
The proposed service, which is subject to regulatory approvals, will be the first direct link to North Africa for both Singapore and Australia, marking a significant step forward in strengthening connectivity across the regions.
Changi Airport said in a press statement that “demand for travel to and from Egypt was robust and growing, with the country recorded as the largest unserved market in Africa for both Singapore and Australia by point-to-point traffic in 2025.”
The new route will connect three distinctive global cities. Cairo offers access to Egypt’s rich cultural heritage, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum and cruises down the Nile River, as well as leisure destinations such as Hurghada, Sharm El-Sheikh and Al-Alamain.
Singapore presents a unique blend of urban life and nature, from the iconic Marina Bay skyline to the award-winning Gardens by the Bay.
Meanwhile, Sydney combines iconic landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge with a vibrant business and cultural scene.
Changi Airport Group, Executive Vice President, Air Hub and Cargo Development, Lim Ching Kiat said: “We are delighted that EgyptAir is planning to connect Cairo, Singapore and Sydney with this new service. Through Changi’s extensive regional network, travellers from Egypt and Australia will gain seamless access to destinations across Southeast Asia and the wider Asia-Pacific.
“At the same time, Changi’s passengers from Singapore and the region will get to enjoy convenient access to Cairo and onward connections across Africa and beyond. We look forward to welcoming EGYPTAIR to Changi and supporting the successful launch of the service.”
