Egyptair (MS) is to use an Airbus A330-200 instead of the previously announced A340-200 on its Cairo - Osaka Kansai, Japan route, set to resume from 1 December 2012 after it was dropped last year in January owing to the then tense political situation in Egypt.
Additionally, the Egyptian carrier has completely deprecated any remaining A340 scheduled flights (mainly to Osaka and Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) as it moves to phase out the type from its current fleet.
