Amazingly it did (an Airbus A300), getting me into CAI about 12 hours late without the slightest apology or explanation. Will you make your connection? Egyptair's attitiude will be 'only if it is the will of Allah' (I am not being sarcastic of Islam here; you will hear Arab pilots sincerely make announcements 'we will be landing shortly, if it be the will of Allah . . .')
