Rescue flights to start bringing Brits back from Sharm el Sheikh

Thousands of tourists are stranded in Egypt after mounting evidence a Russian airliner was downed by a bomb led to all flights between the United Kingdom and Sharm el-Sheikh being suspended.

It comes on the eve of a scheduled visit by Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, who is due for talks with David Cameron on Thursday.

Under the additional measures, passengers will be allowed to have only carry-on luggage on the flight.

USA officers told NBC News source in that intelligence signifies a tool positioned on the Russian charter jet brought about it to break up in midair Saturday, killing all 224 on board.

Travel agent association ABTA has advised British holidaymakers in Sharm to contact their travel company.

Officials are working with airlines to find a way to safely return people to the United Kingdom – either on their scheduled flight or earlier if they wish – although no flights are expected to leave before at least Friday.

A short statement said: “The Irish Aviation Authority (IAA) directs Irish airline operators not to operate to/from Sharm el‐Sheikh Airport Egypt or in the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula airspace until further notice”.

UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said security would be tightened and it is hoped flights will resume on Friday, the BBC has reported.

But if the team finds a culture of allowing workers and vehicles to move freely in and out of the secure area, the United Kingdom will want profound changes before normal flights can resume.

Flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh have been cancelled by East Midlands Airport and Robin Hood Airport, over fears that a Russian plane was brought down there by a bomb.

“We recognise that this information may cause concern for those in Sharm and indeed for those planning to travel to Sharm in the coming days”.

Nonetheless, Thomas Cook and Tui Group-owned Thomson Airways and First Choice weren’t taking any chances – and wanted to provte that to customers – by cancelling flights until next week. “The staff at the resort are stuck in the middle because they are not getting any messages to advise us of what we should be doing and we have not been contacted by easyJet to say what we should be doing”.

“Security seemed shoddy to me and officials overstretched”. The hotel have set a charge and the tourists cannot understand why they are being charged.

A memorial service was held in St. Boris and Gleb Church for crash victim Nina Luschenko, the office said.

“The following year when we went we made a decision to test them to see if their security had improved – it hadn’t”.

“This airport has lax security”.

The airline is giving full refunds to people who booked to travel to the resort in this period.
