The General Manager (GM) of EgyptAir in Nigeria, Mr. Muharram Abdel Rahman, has received the Excellence Award from the Travel Consultants Club of Nigeria - an Aviation NGO, for the dedicated support he has provided to Nigerian travel consultants over the years. The award was presented by Mr. Edet Effiong Aduak, the National President of the Association, together with his colleague Mrs. Adie Elizabeth, the National Secretary, during a courtesy visit to mark the unveiling of the airline's newly designed and freshly renovated office with state-of-the-art facilities.

Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, the GM began his address to members of the media present by thanking the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika for all he is doing to propel the aviation industry forward.

He then went on to unveil the airline’s two-in-one package for its esteemed customers – a 50% discount to all travel destinations served by the airline, and the addition of one extra piece of baggage at no extra cost for passengers flying both on Business and Economy Classes. The 50% discount promo will last until March ending for ticket sales and until April ending for travel. Also, a 25% discount for students will be implemented after the end of the present 50% discount.

“It is our duty to facilitate movement by passengers. I know that economic wise, everyone has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, reason why we are now offering a 50% discount on all flight destinations on EgyptAir,” Muharram said. He added that despite the pandemic, EgyptAir continues to operate daily flights from Lagos, and five weekly flights from Abuja.

According to the EgyptAir boss, the airline has now positioned itself to airlift Nigerians with tourist visas to Cairo, in a bid to sell the city as a viable tourist destination, since Nigerians cannot presently fly to Dubai due to current restrictions put in place by the UAE government.

After taking questions from members of the press, Mr. Muharram was presented with the Excellence Award by representatives of the Travel Consultant Club of Nigeria - an award which according to them, is well deserved.
