The aircraft arrived at Cairo International Airport earlier this month.

The aircraft will join EgyptAir Cargo’s fleet of two Airbus A330-200P2Fs. An EgyptAir spokesperson said the airline has yet to set a date for the aircraft’s re-entry into service, but it could happen by the end of the month

This comes as EgyptAir’s MRO arm, EgyptAir Maintenance and Engineering, is reportedly considering performing its own 737 freighter conversions.
