Egyptair signed a deal with Airbus at the Dubai Airshow on Tuesday to buy 10 A350-900s for delivery between 2025 and 2027. It inked the order for the widebody airliners during a ceremony attended by Egyptair chairman and CEO Yehia Zakaria and Airbus chief commercial officer Christian Scherer. 

"Egyptair is a key partner of Airbus in the Middle East and Africa,” said Zakaria. “We take immense pride in this partnership aimed at furthering the aviation industry. Our focus lies in the enhancement of our fleet to embrace some of the most contemporary aircraft available.”
