ALMASRIA UNIVERSAL AIRLINES is a new Egyptian company with license from 15 Apr 2009. First flight on 1 jun 2009.
At present, it provides scheduled services to Kuwait from Alexandria, Luxor and Assiut, and charter fls.. At present, it operates two A320-232s leased from Bank of China Aviation:
SU-TCA cn 932 and SU-TCB cn 943.

Company with precisely this name tried to start services in 2008 with leased A320-211 F-OKRM ('cn615) for a short period.
On 18 Oct 2009 its A320 SU-TCB visited Prague Airport for the first time. This aircraft made on 17 Dec 1998 and delivered on 1 Mar 1999 to Qatar AW. From 1 Apr 2004 this aircraft served with Air Deccan as VT-ADY.

The name of this airline is quite interesting:
"Al Masria" is derived from ARABIC term for EGYPT. There are plenty of Airlines in the world with the word "International" in their name. And there are several with a word "Domestic" in their name. But there exist only a few with the word "UNIVERSAL" in their name. In this case, it means that this airline provides both scheduzled and charter fls. and that it carries both pax as well as cargo (in belly hold). And the management plans to provide not only international, but domestic fls. as well...simply said, to be an EGYPTIAN UNIVERSAL Airlines.
