Travellers may soon have a direct way to get to Egypt from Singapore. On Thursday (Sep 10), EgyptAir, Changi Airport Group and Sydney Airport announced plans for a new service connecting Cairo, Singapore and Sydney from early 2027.

Passengers would be able to travel between Cairo, Singapore and Sydney on the new proposed service, which is subject to regulatory approvals . EgyptAir said the proposed service would be operated using its Airbus A350-900 aircraft as part of its plans to expand its presence in the Asia-Pacific market.

For travellers flying from Singapore, the route would provide the first direct air access to Cairo, as well as onward connections through EgyptAir's network in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

According to a press release by the three parties, Egypt was the largest African market without a direct flight connection for both Singapore and Australia in 2025, based on the number of people travelling between the destinations.

Beyond providing another travel option, the service is also expected to strengthen economic and cultural links between Egypt, Singapore and Australia.

Cairo, Egypt's capital, is home to sites including the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum. The River Nile also flows through the city, while other destinations in Egypt include the resort cities of Hurghada and Sharm El-Sheikh, as well as Al-Alamain on the country's Mediterranean coast.

Currently, travellers flying from Singapore to Egypt generally have to make at least one stop, such as in Bahrain when flying with Gulf Air, Dubai with Emirates or Doha with Qatar Airways.

Further details about the proposed service, including flight schedules and fares, have yet to be announced and will be released by EgyptAir at a later date.

该航空公司计划从 2027 年初开始开通新加坡和开罗之间的首条直航航线，使新加坡拥有直达北非的空中通道。

旅客或许很快就能从新加坡直飞埃及。周四（9月10日），埃及航空、樟宜机场集团和悉尼机场宣布计划从2027年初开始开通连接开罗、新加坡和悉尼的新航线。

乘客将能够搭乘这项拟议中的新航线往返于开罗、新加坡和悉尼之间，该航线尚需获得监管部门的批准。埃及航空表示，拟议中的航线将使用其空客A350-900飞机执飞，这是其拓展亚太市场计划的一部分。

对于从新加坡出发的旅客来说，这条航线将提供首条直飞开罗的航线，并可通过埃及航空在非洲、欧洲和中东的航线网络进行后续转机。

根据三方联合发布的新闻稿，根据往返新加坡和澳大利亚的旅客人数计算，到 2025 年，埃及将成为非洲最大的没有直飞新加坡和澳大利亚航班的市场。

除了提供另一种旅行选择外，该服务还有望加强埃及、新加坡和澳大利亚之间的经济和文化联系。

埃及首都开罗拥有吉萨金字塔和埃及大博物馆等著名景点。尼罗河也穿城而过。埃及其他旅游目的地还包括度假城市赫尔格达和沙姆沙伊赫，以及位于地中海沿岸的阿拉曼。

目前，从新加坡飞往埃及的旅客通常至少需要中转一次，例如乘坐海湾航空的航班在巴林中转，乘坐阿联酋航空的航班在迪拜中转，乘坐卡塔尔航空的航班在多哈中转。

有关该项拟议服务的更多细节，包括航班时刻表和票价，尚未公布，埃及航空将在稍后发布。
