You Can Now Fly From Cairo to Sahel in a Helicopter

Who needs a three-hour road trip from Cairo to Sahel when you can take off on a helicopter?

Swift Jet Aviation, a private aviation company founded in 2022, is turning the North Coast commute into a breezy one-hour flight. Swapping traffic jams for aerial views, the service uses AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters to fly travellers directly to hotspots like Marassi, Ras El Hekma, and other high-demand coastal destinations.

The service is aimed at providing a faster, more streamlined alternative for summer travellers heading to the North Coast, bypassing congestion and offering direct access to resorts.
