What an odd post
The facts are wrong, the conclusion bizarre

Very odd! Many flights from Europe to Asia route through that area to avoid Russian airspace as well, so I guess those should be avoided too!
China Eastern (MU) finally repriced. No more $1800 roundtrip flights to Australia or $1100 roundtrip flights to Japan or $800 roundtrip flights to China.
Ethiopian (ET) and Royal Jordanian (RJ) have corrected slightly.
ET - CAI-EZE - $1583 roundtrip - https://www.google.com/travel/flight...biTTxqhtdY3A66
RJ - CAI-HKT - $1038 roundtrip - https://www.google.com/travel/flight...YSSfnHj55kkuE7
ET - CAI-NRT - $1410 roundtrip - https://www.google.com/travel/flight...XTkrgzXrCLXmV7

You can even get it a whopping *£24* cheaper than the screenshot Dog250 posted if you move the LHR-CAI leg to 23rd May!
(I need to do a few more posts before I'm deemed safe to post screenshots or links. My cue to stop silently lurking)

And in fact you can save the additional princely sum of £24 if you move the LHR-CAI leg to 23rd May (via WAW on LOT).
There seem to be a couple of other dates at least available as well if you play around with the multi city tool on GF - e.g. CAI-DOH-GRU-ASU 25th May; ASU-GRU-LHR 31st May; LHR-WAW-CAI 2nd June for GBP932.

I'm not aware of any major accidents at Cairo airport this century, apart from a cockpit fire in an EgyptAir B777 on stand at T3: hull loss but no fatalities.
Your conclusion, that Cairo airport is unsafe, is baseless.

"this airport lost 2 large pax aircraft in the last decade, indicating weak or non-existent air defenses!"

2016: MS 804 -- everyone (66) killed

For the record, I was comfortable last year flying from CAI. But flying near or through a war zone should at least warrant a discussion.

I might inquire whilst I am about it what this has to do with Egyptian devaluation and its impact on air tickets.
