Departing from Zürich Airport (LSZH), the Airbus A340 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 7 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the end of runway 16, it initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 1,674-meter stretch of the 3,200-meter runway, which accounted for 52% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 171 knots, taking advantage of the favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle tailwind of 4 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Zürich, it began its enroute climb, ascending from 2,493 feet above sea level to 39,013 feet, a vertical gain of 36,520 feet, in just 18 minutes and covering a distance of 132 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a prolonged enroute level cruise, which lasted for 178 minutes and covered a distance of 1,506 nautical miles, as the aircraft flew 1 mile west of Cermes, Italy. The cruise phase was punctuated by the start of the enroute descent, which began 56 miles south of Abu Rish Valley Airport in Egypt, where the aircraft descended from 38,992 feet to 1,699 feet, a vertical loss of 37,293 feet, in 24 minutes and covering 139 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Hurghada International Airport (HEGN), it initiated its final approach to runway 34R, flying from the south at a heading of 339.0°, 4 nautical miles from the threshold and 1,617 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the 3,728-meter runway, with a touchdown distance of 357 meters, slightly below the target threshold speed of 132 knots. The touchdown speed and rate were within acceptable limits, although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters. The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,785 nautical miles, taking 231 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 19,158 kilograms of fuel during the journey.

The final approach to runway 34R at HEGN Hurghada International Airport from the south was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 339.0° at 4 nm and 1,617 ft above ground level. The approach was conducted in a southerly direction, aligning with the runway's 3,728-meter length. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 132 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 357 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 132 kt was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -298 fpm was only fair, indicating a slightly steeper descent than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters, which may have contributed to the slightly uneven rollout.
The total landing distance of 991 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centre by 10.3 meters, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 96.0%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 29°C and a 22-kt headwind, did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
