There are plans to eliminate direct flights between Manchester International Airport and Cairo International Airport from October 2014 onwards.

This direct flight line is very beneficial for tourists, business people and personal travels, between British citizens and Egyptians alike. Since direct flights between Manchester and Cairo have commenced, it has eased travel between the two destinations and has invited more people to travel more often to both airports. Many travelers enjoy the service and convenience of being able to travel between two major international airports directly.

Cancelling this direct service will mean a lot of inconvenience for regular and one-time consumers. Not only will additional hours be added to the overall journey time but expenses will undoubtedly increase, and ultimately less consumers will travel between these two destinations.

Many senior customers and business people living in or travelling to the Midlands or the North of England will choose not to travel to Cairo, Egypt if this direct service is no longer offered.

Many people choose to take small vacations, or travel for business meetings because of the convenience of a direct flight. If this service is eliminated, many of these clients will choose to either postpone their trip, or not go altogether, thus less customers will choose to travel between these destinations.

As consumers, we need to ensure that direct flights between Manchester International Airport and Cairo International Airport continue to operate regularly to prove quality and convenient service to all those who depend on it.

Please sign this petition in supporting this cause. This petition will declare to the affected Airlines and TheMinistry of Civil Aviation of Egypt(MCA) that we support the continued service of direct flights between Manchester and Cairo, and we do not want this service to end.

Thank you for your support.
