History
Egyptair Cargo was formed in 2002 from the existing cargo activities of Egyptair, on the creation of The Egyptair Holding Company, as one of its subsidiaries.[3] The company participated in IATA's air-cargo quality programme, Cargo iQ (known as Cargo 2000 until its 2016 renaming).
In 2008 the airline introduced a modified logo with larger Egyptair Cargo titles, however sister company Egyptair introduced a new livery and logo later that year that has been applied to the cargo fleet as well.
