About AP
AP is a small commercial airline with a tight network built around a handful of specific connections between Egypt and Italy. With just four non-stop routes operating across three airports, this isn't a carrier trying to compete with the big European carriers — it's purpose-built for a narrow corridor. The main hub sits at Marsa Alam (RMF) on Egypt's Red Sea coast, which tells you a lot about who's flying and why. Think charter-adjacent traffic, leisure travelers, and people who know exactly where they're going. It's a niche operation, and it doesn't pretend otherwise.
Why fly AP?
If you're traveling between the Red Sea coast and northern Italy, AP is doing something nobody else is bothering to do. The RMF-MXP route alone covers over 3,200 km non-stop, which means no layovers in Cairo or Rome just to get where you actually want to be. For Italian travelers heading to Marsa Alam's dive sites and beach resorts — or Egyptians with family or business ties near Milan or Verona — that directness has real value. You're not flying AP for a lounge or a loyalty program. You're flying it because the alternative is a connection that adds three or four hours to a trip that doesn't need to be complicated.

Tips for booking AP
Because AP runs a small, focused network, flexibility is limited — if your plans change, rerouting options are basically nonexistent. Book direct through their own channels if you can, and double-check baggage allowances before you show up at RMF, since smaller leisure-focused carriers sometimes have quirks around what's included at which fare level. Don't assume alliance benefits apply here. If you're flying into Verona (VRN) or Milan (MXP) as part of a longer European trip, build in buffer time rather than tight connections to other carriers. For what it is, it works — just go in with realistic expectations.
