"Air Flash"? Not a happy name for an airline.

Well, I can tell you, I'm pretty on top of the industry, I get a few of the industry magazines and know most of the world airliners. I have never heard of Flash, if its a 2 plane operation, I would wager that they are pretty chintzy on their maintenance. As for charters, there are scads of charters from Sharm and Hurghada.

Egypt Air is a large airline, but when I flew them, the JFK-CAI flight was on a brand new 777, however, the CAI-Hurghada was on a fairly new A340 widebody that was in pretty ragged shape. At Cairo, I saw some pretty nasty looking planes from some charters that looked a bit dodgy. In Europe, charters like this are common, there are plenty of them, at all ranges of quality.
