EGYPTAIR continues to opt for SchedConnect from Lufthansa Systems

EGYPTAIR continues to opt for the codeshare management solution SchedConnect from Lufthansa Systems. Both companies recently renewed the contract on a long-term basis. With SchedConnect EGYPTAIR can optimize their codeshare management, which leads to cost savings and higher revenues.

SchedConnect offers a high degree of automation, calculating the optimum codeshare assignments based on the current flight schedules every day. Each month, the system processes up to 35 million schedule changes made by SchedConnect customers worldwide. If a minimum connecting time is violated due to a schedule change or if a partner flight is canceled, the system automatically assigns the marketing flight number to another suitable connecting flight. Changes are sent through the reservation systems to travel agents and customers as well as to the operations and passenger-related systems of the airlines involved.

EGYPTAIR, the leading airline in Africa and Middle East, operates from Cairo Hub to more than 80 destinations nationally and internationally using fleet comprising 81 aircraft. Ever since EGYPTAIR’s establishment in 1932, the airline has been consistent on expanding its global network, providing high quality services and added values alongside ensuring the best connection time. The contract marks the continuation of a successful partnership between the two companies.
