A new Pyramids Airlines takes delivery of its first aircraft

Pyramids Airlines is a new Egyptian charter airline aiming for a 2026 launch, currently undergoing regulatory licensing and establishing partnerships for leisure and ACMI operations.

The airline, not to be confused with the defunct 1977-2007 carrier of a similar name, recently added its first A321-200 aircraft to its fleet.
