KlasJet Operates Summer Charter Flights to Egypt From Milan & Sharjah
KlasJet will run charter flights to Cairo for Air Cairo, linking Milan and Sharjah to Egypt's capital until the end of October. Lithuanian-based charter carrier KlasJet has signed a summer agreement with Egypt's Air Cairo to operate flights from Milan and Sharjah to Cairo, running until October 31st, 2025. The partnership aims to support rising seasonal travel demand and improve connectivity between Egypt and key regional markets in Europe and the Gulf. Air Cairo, partially owned by EgyptAir, operates charter routes to Egypt's tourist hubs and currently flies a fleet of over 30 Airbus A320s. The new collaboration allows the airline to expand its reach using aircraft and crew supplied by KlasJet under an ACMI (Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance) arrangement. The agreement, which was finalised just days before operations began, marks the first time Air Cairo has partnered with an ACMI provider based in an EU aviation safety jurisdiction. Flights began at the end of May with services out of Milan and Sharjah expected to continue throughout the peak summer months. The move comes as Egypt's tourism industry sees sustained growth, with revenues reaching USD 4.8 billion during last year's third quarter. The additional capacity is expected to ease travel access from Europe and the UAE, key source markets for Egypt's tourism sector. KlasJet, known for operating private and group charter flights, is part of Avia Solutions Group, a major player in global aviation services. Its fleet is based across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, with operations spanning charter, wet lease, and aviation support services.

Green Roofs to Riyadh's Deepest Metro: Schaduf's Journey into Saudi
Inside the landscape firm's most complex project to date: a 36-metre-deep green wall at Qasr Al Hukm metro station. When Sherif Hosni, Co-Founder of Cairo-based landscape firm Schaduf, talks about Qasr Al Hukm, there's a noticeable pause before he calls it what it is: the flagship. 'It's the biggest project we've completed,' he tells SceneHome. Schaduf began with a shared passion for sustainability—specifically, green roofs—and grew from there. But over time, one thing became clear: Saudi was the biggest market. It wasn't easy. Establishing a business presence in the Kingdom came with its own set of hurdles. But a strategic partnership in 2018 helped unlock the opportunity, and by 2022, Schaduf had opened a formal office in Saudi Arabia—just in time to take on its largest challenge yet. Qasr Al Hukm is one of Riyadh's main metro stations, part of the city's broader infrastructure transformation. At its core is a green wall designed and executed entirely by Schaduf—spanning 36 metres underground. Unlike earlier projects where Schaduf might have handed over execution to a local partner, this time they did it all themselves—from design to installation. They now oversee maintenance and operations, too. Today, Qasr Al Hukm represents more than just a completed project. It's proof of capability. And it marks the beginning of Schaduf's regional expansion.
