TL;DR
Travelers report that EgyptAir on this route operates as a scheduled flight rather than a pure charter. However, booking system issues and overbooking do happen, and some passengers have been moved to the next day or rebooked onto AlMasria.
Most recent report: some passengers had booking database issues — travel documents were not sent, and hotel bookings were missing in the system. When EgyptAir ran out of seats, travelers were moved to the next day and rebooked onto AlMasria.
According to traveler experience, EgyptAir on this route is treated as a scheduled service. It was compared not to a classic charter, but to a regular flight where a tour operator may hold a seat block.
Earlier discussion suggested that some seats may be sold as a charter block. That is why travelers asked whether they could still depart after staying in Egypt on this airline — and the discussion indicates that EgyptAir is not operating here as a pure charter.
