Cairo – Mubasher: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines announced on Wednesday on its website that it will temporarily suspend its flights to Cairo starting from 8 January 2017.
"The devaluation of the Egyptian pound and the decision of the Central Bank of Egypt to impose restrictions on the transfer of foreign currency out of Egypt have a negative impact on results of KLM," the company said.
The airlines noted that its last flight will leave Cairo on 7 January to Amsterdam, while its sister company Air France – KLM will maintain its presence in Egypt, operating six weekly flights from Paris.
