Indeed the only A310 operator in Egypt is Midwest Airlines. They currently have a single A310-300 (SU-MWA) which is used for flights out of CAI and other Egyptian airports. They used to operate a 2nd A310 (SU-MW) but that went to Iran Air in late 2003.

Back in 2000 they ordered 2 A320s (plus 2 options) but following 9/11 the order was cancelled, which was a big shame.

Details of their operations are very difficult to come by. Hopefully this news means they plan to get a 2nd A310 (or maybe some of their current captains have retired and they're simply looking for replacements).



Rani, Heliopolis Airlines became Flash Airlines and unfortunately they stopped flying in January 2004 after the crash in SSH.
