The company of Star Alliance will also test demand to Brazil at the start of the school year, setting up four charter flights from Cairo to Sao Paulo-Guarulhos. They will be operated on September 2, 16 and 30 in 787-9 Dreamliner (30+279) with, according to the same source, departures at 11:55 p.m. (arrival the next day at 7:20 a.m.) and returns two days later at 4:00 a.m. (arrival at 10:35 p.m.).
No competition there either for EgyptAir, Sao Paulo being already connected to Africa by LATAM Brasil (whose flights to Johannesburg will resume at the beginning of September), TAAG Angola Airlines (from Luanda) more at the start of the next winter season by South African Airways (from Cape Town and Johannesburg).
When these charter flights were unveiled in the spring, they were to be operated on behalf of MasterFlights, with connections beyond the two cities.
