Charter flights to Egyptian resorts will be resumed in the near future, some details are left to be worked out, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov told TASS .
“The work continues, [there are] finishing touches, because the decision, as you know, was made, this was announced at the highest level. So now there are just some details left, including those related to coronavirus restrictions,” Bogdanov said.
“And so, of course, I hope that in the near future, our tourists will fly to Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada.” He recalled that now there are flights from Russia to Cairo. “From there, our tourists go to Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada. But, of course, it would be convenient for everyone to have direct flights, not only from Moscow but also from other Russian cities,” he added.
Presidents of the two countries agreed to resume flights between Russian cities and the Red Sea resorts. In early May, the Russian ambassador to Cairo, Georgy Borisenko, announced that the aviation authorities and security agencies must complete the entire range of necessary measures for the real restoration of air traffic.
