operators putting their toes back in the Nile region use Egyptair who still have their LHR Monday LXR non-stop - not sure if Thomon's LXR charter still operates for next season?
The only way to fly to Luxor now is using Egyptair's daily service via Cairo. The direct service is a winter only flight. Whilst Hurghada is in full swing with Thomas Cook, Thomson and others, the Nile cruise industry needs heavy investment. There are around 300 boats lolling around the Nile with only around 30 in service. A sad situation but no operators seem to move to get it going again.
