Boeing will participate as a Silver Sponsor at the El Alamein Airshow 2026, demonstrating its commitment to supporting the Egyptian Armed Forces and advancing regional defence capabilities. 

The show runs from September 8-10 at El Alamein International Airport.

“Egypt is one of the region’s most important defence and security partners,” said Dr Brendan Nelson, senior vice president of The Boeing Company and president of Boeing Global. “Our relationship with the Egyptian Armed Forces has been built over decades, and we are focused on enabling personnel to protect their country, respond to disasters, and return home safely.”

At this year’s show, Boeing will highlight at its exhibit stand a focused selection of its proven and mission-ready platforms, including:

• The AH 64 Apache, a proven attack helicopter providing precision targeting, survivability and advanced sensors for close air support and armed reconnaissance.

• The CH-47 Chinook, a highly versatile, heavy lift helicopter supporting troop transport, cargo movement, humanitarian assistance and special operations.

• The KC 46A Pegasus, an advanced multi-mission aerial refuelling aircraft designed to also support airlift, and medical evacuation operations.

Boeing’s relationship with the Egyptian military dates to 1979 when the Egyptian Air Force acquired the F‑4 Phantom II. Over the decades, Egypt has expanded its Boeing fleet to include 43 AH-64D Apache attack helicopters and 18 CH-47D Chinook heavy-lift helicopters, both central to the country’s operational and humanitarian missions.

Boeing has invested more than $3 million in community programs in Egypt over the past 10 years, engaging approximately 9,800 participants in the last five years. Programs focus on STEM education, employability, entrepreneurship and sustainability in support of Egypt Vision 2030. - TradeArabia News Service
