Putin reinstating regular flights between Russia and Cairo

Russian Aviaton » Thursday January 4, 2018 17:45 MSK

Vladimir Putin has signed an executive order reinstating regular flightsbetween Russia and Cairo.

Russia suspended air travel with Egypt in November 2015, following the crash of a Russian passenger plane over the Sinai, which killed all 224 people aboard. Russian investigators say an explosive device is the likeliest reason for the crash.

On December 15, 2017, an Egyptian-Russian cooperation protocol in maintaining civil aviation security was signed after a meeting between Civil Aviation Minister Sherif Fathi and Russian Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov in Moscow, Egypt’s Aviation Ministry said in an official statement.

The protocol intends to resume flights between Cairo and Moscow for the first time since 2015, starting February 2018, the statement added.

The Russian minister manifested that the Russian air flights will resume first to Cairo, not Sharm el-Sheikh or Hurghada.
