Nefertiti Airlines, sometimes known as Nefertiti Aviation was a short-lived airline that operated from 1980–1982.[2] It provided charter service and flights between Cairo and Tel Aviv that EgyptAir could not. The route was later served by Air Sinai,[3][4] and, starting October 2021, by EgyptAir.

Elhamy Elzayat, former honorary consul in Egypt is credited with helping establish tourism between Egypt and Israel.[5] and these flights were considered key to the establishment of Israeli-Egyptian relations.[6]
