How premature for the CEO of EgyptAir to be so sure about the possible effect of the volcanic eruption on EgyptAir’s flights to Europe. Did he forget the mammoth effect which resulted from the volcanic eruption of April 2010?

Jazeera Airways to launch Cairo flights

It is quite strange that the website of Jazeera Airways did not say anything about the expected Cairo flights, and that the website of the Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority is no longer functional.
So, the airline “agreed to abandon its low-cost policy"?
If they failed to make money using the low-cost business model, will they be able to make it adopting legacy carrier business model?
Anyway, beginning of May is just around the corner. Let us wait and see.
