The company owned two Boeing 737-300 aircraft and carried out low-cost charter flights both within Egypt and between it and other countries.
On January 3, 2004 , one of the airline's planes crashed into the Red Sea , shortly after taking off from Sharm El Sheikh .
During the investigation, three violations were discovered in the company's actions:
- The pilots did not have oxygen masks
- Passengers had little oxygen
- Some appliances in the cab did not work
However, the final cause of the crash was not named, as the plane sank at great depths, and most of the wreckage was not available for inspection. As a result, in the same 2004, the company ceased to exist.
