History

The airline was established in 1982 to fly scheduled services between Egypt and Israel (on routes previously flown by Nefetiti Aviation), which for political reasons could not be handled by parent company EgyptAir. Services started using a Boeing 737-200 leased from EgyptAir and new routes to Israel's tourist destinations followed. By the early 1980s a Fokker F27 Friendship was also in use on these services. Charter flights were also flown for EgyptAir.

The airline currently serves the following routes:

Cairo-Tel Aviv, thrice weekly
Sharm el-Sheikh-Tel Aviv, once weekly scheduled service.

The airline also operate a limited number of charter flights between the 2 countries.
