The news of the resumption of charter flights came from above. This was agreed by Russian President Vladimir Putin with his Egyptian counterpart.. Russian leader and Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met today. Press conference of heads of state began with a minute of silence. When exactly air traffic between the countries will work in full force, is not reported. However, the first persons of Russia and Egypt are not going to postpone flights to Hurghada and Sharm el-Sheikh. The main argument that pushed the Russian government to such a decision is to strengthen the security measures of the transport hubs that the Arab state takes.

“We will strive to resume charter flights on these routes in the near future,” RIA Novosti quotes Putin.. Recall the air route to Cairo Russians opened in April. It was impossible to get from Russia to Egypt by plane. Air traffic between the countries ceased in November 2015, after the largest catastrophe in the history of world aviation. The victims of the collapse of the Russian A321 in the sky over the Sinai Peninsula were 224 people. Responsibility for the tragedy was assumed by the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in Russia.
