Egyptair is embarking on a transformative upgrade of its network infrastructure to boost operational efficiency, increase resilience, and deliver more reliable services for passengers. As part of this modernisation, the airline has selected advanced connectivity and infrastructure solutions from SITA – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub and an exhibitor at FTE Global, the “CES of Aviation” taking place in Long Beach on 9 to 11 September 2025.
This strategic modernisation equips Egyptair with scalable, cloud-native connectivity to meet growing bandwidth, security, and automation demands. With SITA Connect Go, the airline will further strengthen its core infrastructure with secure airport connectivity, infrastructure protection, Secure Service Edge (SSE) management, and enhanced messaging and service assurance.
Egyptair’s operations will also benefit from SITA’s Community Departure Control System (DCS), which will help streamline ground processes, driving cost efficiency across its network.
“Airlines across the Middle East and Africa are facing a period of rapid change,” said Selim Bouri, President, Middle East & Africa, SITA. “Passenger demand is surging, airports are getting busier, and the pressure to operate more efficiently, securely, and sustainably has never been greater. Against this backdrop, Egyptair is making a bold move to transform its network infrastructure, giving the airline the speed, resilience, and agility it needs to keep pace with market growth and rising traveller expectations. By embracing next-generation connectivity, Egyptair is future-proofing its operations and strengthening its ability to compete in an increasingly dynamic regional aviation landscape.”
This agreement is a continuation of the development journey of the Egyptian civil aviation sector and strengthens its competitiveness as a pivotal regional centre for aviation, IT, and digital services. The airline’s focus on adopting the latest smart solutions, will contribute to strengthening performance efficiency and improving the passenger experience at Egyptian airports.
“This partnership with SITA is a cornerstone of our digital transformation strategy,” said Captain Ahmed Adel, Chairman & CEO of Egyptair Holding Company. “By adopting cutting-edge solutions, we are enhancing our communication systems to support growth in tourism and travel, ensuring operational excellence and a superior passenger experience.”
