Russian Federation Bans EgyptAir Flights, Effective November 14, Says Moscow

Meanwhile, waiting for their flights at Sharm El-Sheikh worldwide Airport, two Russian tourists flying back to their country told Daily News Egypt they completed their vacation, which began a few days after the Russian plane crash.

The 18 year old airliner was manufactured in Germany, while its engine was made in the United States.

An official letter on the termination of flights was handed in to the head of Egypt Air’s office in Moscow.

The Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) has banned Cairo to Moscow flights by Egypt’s national carrier Egypt Air, it was announced on Friday.

Kirpichenko said he is in contact with Egyptian officials to discuss the work of the Egypt-led worldwide committee that is investigating the crash.

The ill-fated Metrojet flight was heading from the popular Egyptian resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh to Russia’s second-largest city, St Petersburg, when it crashed in Sinai, killing all 224 people on board.

“The government will continue to support direct return flights by British airlines until the majority of passengers who wish to leave Sharm el-Sheikh have done so, on 17 November 2015”.

In a statement, the Egyptian Interior Ministry said, ISIS warlord noticed the presence of the police.

The restrictions have dealt a severe blow to Egypt’s tourism industry, a main revenue earner, and have been denounced by the Egyptian government which has said the cause of the incident has yet to be determined. “Roughly three million Russian tourists came to Egypt in 2014, almost a third of all visitors, with most heading to the resorts in the southern Sinai Peninsula or its opposite coast, far off from an insurgency being fought by Islamic militants against the army further north”.

Moscow offered a little more insight, saying the ban was necessary due to security concerns at Egypt’s airports.
