Egypt and Russia agreed to fully resume normal air traffic between their two countries today. The deal follows a nearly six-year suspension of charter flights from Russia to Egyptian sea resorts.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the two agreed to “the full resumption of flights between the two countries,” the official Russian news agency Tass reported. This will include flights from Russia to the Red Sea resort cities of Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada, Tass said.
