The war in Ukraine has seen an increase in interest in Thales’ air defence systems, the company said at the show. The European defence giant is promoting its integrated air defence systems, which it says can handle simultaneous attacks from ballistic missiles to strike aircraft, helicopters and low, slow-flying uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). The use of swarms of UAVs in Ukraine has focused the minds of many nations on the problems of defending their airspace against multiple types of attackers, which are often timed to arrive over their targets at the same time, greatly complicating the task of defenders.

Air Cairo will seek to acquire second-hand Airbus A320s to expand its fleet in the short term, as it prepares to receive the last of a batch of A320neos. The Egyptian LCC has just received its 16th A320neo, with the final two expected by the end of this year, giving it a total fleet of 28 neo and ceo. From early next year, however, the company plans to acquire six more A320ceo; four will replace older-vintage A320ceos to keep the fleet’s average age down, with the other two for growth, chairman and CEO, Ahmed Shanan said at the show. That will take the Airbus fleet to 30, together with three Embraer 190 E1 small narrowbodies and six ATR 72-600 turboprops. However, the aim is to greatly increase the fleet, taking it to 72 by the end of the decade. Most of the new arrivals will be more A320s, although models have still to be decided upon and “maybe some will be A321neo. We’re doing a study on that for specific routes.” Air Cairo is seeking to increase traffic from the UK to Red Sea resorts, for example, and the larger-capacity A321neo would fit that role well, he said.
