Cairo International Film Festival announces the renewal of its partnership with EgyptAir, which will continue as the festival’s official carrier for its 46th edition, taking place from November 12 to 21, 2025.
This collaboration reflects the shared vision between the festival and national institutions that believe in the vital role of culture and art in shaping individuals, strengthening Egyptian identity, and building bridges of communication with the world.
Commenting on the renewed partnership, renowned actor Hussein Fahmy, President of Cairo International Film Festival, said:
“We are proud to renew our collaboration with EgyptAir, the national carrier that connects Egypt to the world—just as cinema does. This partnership reflects a mutual appreciation of the role that major cultural events play in presenting a civilized image worthy of Egypt. Having EgyptAir with us ensures an exceptional experience for our guests from around the globe and supports the festival’s mission as an international hub for creativity.”
EgyptAir’s continued sponsorship comes as part of its longstanding commitment to supporting Cairo International Film Festival—recognized as the most significant international film festival in the Arab region and a key player on the global cinematic map. The airline recognizes the crucial role such film events play in educating audiences and fostering cultural exchange through this refined art form: cinema.
Cairo International Film Festival is one of the oldest and most prestigious film festivals in the Arab world and Africa, and the only one in the region classified as a “Category A” festival by the International Federation of Film Producers Associations (FIAPF) in Paris. Established in 1976, it is held annually under the auspices of Egypt’s Ministry of Culture.
