The Maltese Egypt air incident is horribly inaccurate, the hi-jackers did not storm the plane but shot anyone who tried to escape the plane and used a powerful explosive on the plane thus killing the passengers instead of aprehanding the terrorists, they killed more passangers that the terrorists. Please correct the inaccurate fact, I live in the country myself don’t tell me you have a good source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.85.104.106 ( talk) 21:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I am referring to the air crash a few years ago. — Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 21:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
hey which crash? the one of tunisia?
EgyptAir is not second largest anymore. Both Egyptair and South African Airways have the fleetsize as of current (49 planes both). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.100.218.127 ( talk) 04:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
This article is in violation of WP:OR. This article may have some of its information deleted without further notice. WP:OR is a wikipedian policy which works in conjuctions with WP:V. All Encyclopedic content must be verifiable (as stated just above every edit summary). The table within this article makes reference IATA code of EgyptAir being "MS". However it does not provide sufficience reference to investigate this finding. There is a link to IATA however, further investigation into this self referencing wikipedia link does not provide any information or a corelation with the term MS. As per wikipedian policy, aggreed upon by general concensus, this information must be removed. I have previously given this article a warning by adding {{fact}}, however this was removed. Consider this your final warning to provide reliable sources. -- CyclePat 21:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

An editor recently removed two accidents from the "Incidents and accidents" section of the article. One is a Misrair accident and the other is an Egypt Air accident. Both are mentioned in the List of accidents and incidents involving the Vickers Viscount. I've readded them to the article. The Misrair accident should be included until such time as Misrair is converted from a redirect into a stand-alone article. Mjroots ( talk) 12:19, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

@ Anup: This [2] edit is at least partly unsupported by the references provided. More specifically, <ref name="EgyptAir plans further restructuring as losses mount. But outlook may brighten as Egypt stabilises" /> only supports the CEO position for El Hefny. I had previously requested protection of the page because of additions of unsupported changes. The source for El Nahas seems to be fine. According to WP:BURDEN, I will require that you add the proper source to the changes you made for the positions held by El Hefny.-- Jetstreamer Talk 17:20, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
The text says that the airline renamed itself "United Arab Airlines" in both February 1957 and March 1958. Which is true? Also, it mentions the airline losing a Viscount at Almaza airport during an air raid, but does not make clear when the air raid occurred. Was it during the 1956 Suez Crisis – and, if so, why isn't it mentioned in that context? – or at another time? Mdnavman ( talk) 18:22, 28 November 2015 (UTC)mdnavman

An editor that uses several IPs keeps using planespotters [3] [4] as a source, which is not considered reliable. Even if it was, the IP is not including the reference in the article but just in their edit summary. If you are the one that is making such changes please stop with this.-- Jetstreamer Talk 10:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
Egyptair's web site uses all caps, which, of course, is a house style choice that we will not follow. But its logo clearly eschews camel case. While the company itself is not always the best source for determining how a name is written, it should be given consideration. The article has a mixture of Egyptair and EgyptAir. It is properly, in my opinion, titled Egyptair. The rest of the article needs to be cleaned up for consistency. I don't have the time to do it now, and I would like this to be open for discussion for a while first. Thanks! Holy ( talk) 02:06, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
