ZAS Airline of Egypt

ZAS Airline of Egypt (IATA: ZA, ICAO: ZAS, Call sign: ZAS airlines) was an airline from Egypt that operated between 1982 and 1995.

Company history

ZAS Airline of Egypt was founded by two brothers, Sherif and Emir Zarkani, as a freight airline. Operations started on November 23, 1982 with a flight from Cairo to Amsterdam to London. In 1987 ZAS was granted a license to carry passenger charter operations. Flights to Jeddah for the Hajj were begun that year and then flights to Western Europe.

ZAS operated a variety of aircraft, from old Boeing 707s to modern MD-87s and Airbus A300s. The Gulf War of 1990-91 brought a downturn in the Egyptian tourist business and ZAS was heavily affected. After increasing difficulties, all operations ceased in April 1995. ^[1]
