Britain to resume flights from Sharm Al-Sheikh to UK
LONDON, November 6, 2015
Britain will resume flights from the Egyptian resort of Sharm Al-Sheikh on Friday after agreeing on additional security measures with Cairo, the prime minister's office said.
Britain suspended flights after the crash on Saturday of a Russian airliner over the Sinai Peninsula. Prime Minister David Cameron hosted Egypt's President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi on Thursday and discussed the situation.
"Following further discussions with the airlines and the Egyptians, we have agreed on a package of additional security measures that is being put in place rapidly," the prime minister's office said in a statement.
"Consequently the Government has decided, in consultation with the airlines, that flights from Sharm to the UK will resume tomorrow." - Reuters
