Boeing, a silver sponsor at the Egypt International Airshow 2024 that will take place from Sept. 3-5 at El Alamein International Airport, will showcase the T-7A, F-15EX, CH-47F, KC-46 and Insitu ScanEagle among its defence capabilities. On the commericial side, the products being highlighted are the 777X, 787 and 737 MAX.
The company's customer aircraft on static display will include a U.S. Air Force F-15, a Royal Saudi Air Force F-15SA, and Qatari Emiri Air Force AH-64E. On the commercial side, Egypt's national carrier EgyptAir will display its 787-9 Dreamliner. Boeing will also highlight its Boeing Global Services portfolio.
"We are delighted to have the opportunity to engage with our Egyptian and regional partners at the inaugural Egypt International Airshow to showcase every aspect of our contribution to the aerospace ecosystem, whether it's our cutting-edge products and services, our commitment to innovation and sustainability, or our impactful community programs," said Kuljit Ghata-Aura, President of Boeing Middle East, Türkiye, Africa, and Central Asia. "We greatly appreciate our collaborative relationships with our Egyptian and regional partners and are committed to advance our joint vision for a robust and secure future in aerospace."
"For over four decades, Boeing has proudly supported the Egyptian Air Force in strengthening its defense capabilities," said Kirk Schultz, regional director, International Business Development, Boeing Defense, Space & Security. "From the early acquisition of the F-4 Phantom II fighter to the recent contract for CH-47F Chinooks, our partnership has evolved to meet the needs of Egypt's armed forces."
Boeing's defence sector partnership with Egypt began in 1979, when the Egyptian Air Force introduced the F-4 Phantom II fighter. Today, Egypt operates AH-64D Apache and CH-47D Chinook helicopters. In early 2023, Boeing was awarded a contract to produce 12 new CH-47F Chinooks for the Egyptian Air Force.
Boeing's long-standing relationship with Egypt's commercial sector dates back to 1966, when EgyptAir placed its first order for three Boeing 707s. The airline currently operates 41 Boeing airplanes, including seven 787-9 Dreamliners, six 777-300ERs and one of the region's largest 737-800 fleets. At the 2023 Dubai Airshow, EgyptAir's committed to lease 18 new Boeing 737-8 airplanes.
