Tourism operators and airlines are expanding capacity for travel to Egypt to meet rising demand for upcoming seasons.

For the summer 2027 season, Nesma Airlines announced a 50 percent increase in seat availability in Germany compared to summer 2026, with expanded services in Switzerland. Concurrently, tour operator Express Travel International (ETI) launched early booking phases for 2027, offering discounts at Red Sea Hotels properties.

Looking toward the 2026/27 winter season, German tour operator Alltours is increasing bed capacities in Hurghada, Marsa Alam, and Sharm El Sheikh following double-digit booking growth. To support this, Alltours has secured additional seat allotments with several airlines to facilitate new direct connections. While the Egyptian market remains a high-margin driver, analysts indicate that booking stability is sensitive to the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
