I seem to recall many many airlines canceling service into and out of Cairo due to the political uncertainity going on. At 1 point EgyptAir the flag carrier of Egypt suspended all operations until the political unrest subsided. Even Airlines from the USA had to temporarily suspend Cairo service or put it off until the political climate resolves itself.
