The ch-aviation fleets history module shows that EgyptAir Express – which was merged into the mainline EgyptAir (MS, Cairo Int’l) in 2019 – operated twelve E170s. Besides the nine currently up for sale, the other three units were sold to state-owned CIAF Leasing of which two are currently dry leased to Tunisia’s Jasmin Airways (JAW, Enfidha) and one is operated by the lessor’s in-house airline CIAF Leasing – Air Operation (CIL, Cairo Int’l).

EgyptAir’s current regional jet fleet currently comprises twelve A220-300s.
