Egypt Air will also increase flights to JFK during the winter season to 5 weekly using their B772 .
They usually operate 5 flights/week in the summer then reduce it to 4 weekly in the winter.
There are rumours that MS wants to fly daily to JFK as the route is doing very well.

time for a silly remark:
looking at the amount of egyptian shoarma shops in Antwerp, Belgium, we may asume that Egypt air will launch daily connections to Deurne Airport as well.

Good to hear that I can have a shoarma in Canada. Imagine, a week without!
Now I start about shoarma: good idea to diversify airline food.
