Flights from Egypt to Russia to resume by April 12
(MENAFN) Egypt's air carrier Egypt Air will perform its first flight to Moscow after it was halted to resume aviation service between the countries on April 12, the company said in a statement on Friday. Head of the national carrier Safwat Musallam said that the company would perform three flights a week - on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. This reported by TASS.
Russia's flagship carrier Aeroflot announced on March 13 the resumption of regular flights from Moscow to Cairo starting April 11, and launched ticket sales on the same day. Aeroflot fights will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, the company said. From June 12 to July 2, flights will become daily due to higher demand during the World Cup.
Flights between the two countries halted in 2015 after a Russian passenger jet was downed in Sinai, killing all 224 people on board. For the past two years, negotiations between both countries were ongoing for the flights' resumption as Russia requested tightened security measures to be imposed across Egyptian airports.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the decree on resumption of scheduled flights to Cairo on January 4, 2018. Settlement of technical matters, including slots booking and schedule preparation, continued in two subsequent months.
