EgyptAir (Arabic: مصر للطيران, Miṣr liṬ-Ṭayarān) is the flag carrier airline of Egypt and one of the oldest airlines in the world. The airline is based at Cairo International Airport, its main hub, operating scheduled passenger and freight services to more than 75 destinations in the Middle East, Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. An extensive network of domestic services is focused on Cairo, Egypt's capital. The airline is a member of Star Alliance, having joined on 11 July 2008.
The company is headquartered in the EgyptAir Administrative Complex on the grounds of Cairo International Airport in Cairo. The airline's logo is Horus, the sky deity in ancient Egyptian mythology, usually depicted as a falcon or a man with the head of a falcon. The airline has taken Horus as its logo because of its ancient symbolism as a "winged god of the sun".
The airline was founded in June 1932 as Misr Airwork. It was managed prewar by Airwork Ltd of the United Kingdom. Regular services were begun in June 1933 with a small fleet of De Havilland Dragon eight-seat biplane airliners. Services linked Cairo with Mersa Matruh via Alexandria. In 1934 international services began to Lydda and Haifa, being extended to Baghdad in 1936. Misr Airwork's routes were taken over by the Egyptian government in September 1939.
