Marsa Alam Airport

A Belgian tour operator is scheduled Saturday to operate its first trip to Egypt.

A plane will arrive at Marsa Alam Airport carrying 172 passengers, while another plane will arrive at Hurghada Airport carrying 147 passengers.

The Sunweb presents trips for Egypt's tourism destination from Belgium for the first time.

The company targets to organize two weekly flights from Brussels to Hurghada and Marsa Alam as of the current winter season and will continue to conduct its flights during the 2016 summer season.

It targets to operate trips for 12,000 clients to the Egyptian destination during the winter season, in addition to the 14,000 others during the summer season, to account for 30 percent of the market share for the Egyptian destination from Belgium.
