Air Cairo Sets New Benchmark for African Airlines: Enhances
In-Flight Medical Safety with MedAire Partnership
Strategic Alliance with
MedAire Aligns with Egypt's Vision for Modernised Aviation Safety and
Healthcare Standards
Cairo,
Egypt, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –
Air Cairo,
one of Egypt's leading airlines, has partnered strategically with MedAire, the
global leader in aviation medical and security support, to enhance its
in-flight medical capabilities and operational efficiencies. This partnership
aligns with the Egyptian Ministry of Civil Aviation’s vision to modernise and
elevate safety and healthcare standards across the air transport sector.
The
agreement was formally signed by Captain Ahmed Shanan, Chairman and CEO of Air
Cairo, and Reely Rajan, Director of Middle East, Africa, India, and Asia at
MedAire, in the presence of Captain Amr El-Sharkawy, Chairman of the Egyptian
Civil Aviation Authority. This collaboration underscores Air Cairo’s commitment
to adopting global best practices in aviation health and safety, ensuring the
highest standards of passenger care.
Under this
strategic partnership, Air Cairo will implement MedAire’s industry-leading
MedLink service, providing flight crews with 24/7 real-time access to emergency
physicians specialised in aviation medicine. Air Cairo crews will also benefit
from offline access to MedAire’s industry-first In-Flight App, designed to
support medical decision-making without connectivity. These advanced medical
services will be deployed fleet-wide across Air Cairo’s Airbus A320-200,
A320neo, E190 and ATR 72-600 aircraft, supporting key regional routes into the
Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
Captain
Ahmed Shanan, Chairman and CEO of Air Cairo, commented: “This partnership is a
cornerstone of Air Cairo’s integrated strategy to enhance aviation safety,
reduce operational disruptions, and ensure our crews are fully prepared to
manage medical events onboard. Our passengers’ safety and comfort remain our
highest priority, and MedAire’s proven expertise will help us deliver on this
commitment.”
Air Cairo
selected MedAire specifically for its extensive experience in managing complex
in-flight medical scenarios and its robust Passenger Fit-to-Fly assessment
capabilities. By leveraging MedAire’s global infrastructure and medical
expertise, Air Cairo aims to proactively manage pre-flight medical cases,
reduce unnecessary delays, and ensure compliance with evolving international
safety standards.
Reely
Rajan, Director of Middle East, Africa, India, and Asia at MedAire, stated: “We
are proud to partner with Air Cairo. As our first airline client in Africa,
this collaboration sets a new benchmark for in-flight medical safety in the
region. It demonstrates Air Cairo’s forward-thinking approach to passenger
care. Beyond supporting their current operations, our global infrastructure
ensures Air Cairo is well-equipped to expand seamlessly into new markets in the
future.”
The new
medical services will go live on all Air Cairo flights starting mid-July 2025.
MedAire's comprehensive suite of solutions minimises diversion risks, enhances
crew confidence during medical incidents, and strengthens pre-flight medical
screening capabilities, ultimately improving operational efficiency and
passenger experience.
