Flights between Moscow and Cairo not likely to resume before March -sources

And speaking of Russian tourists, flights between Moscow and Cairo are not likely to resume before March, sources close to the matter in Cairo told Russian state-news agency TASS, continuing a tiring trend of delaying flights every time a windows computer in the airport needs an update. The two countries will sign an agreement on aviation security once Egyptian authorities complete the installation of newly purchased biometric scanners and finalize new security procedures. “Only after that will we talk about the timing of flight resumption,” the source said. “We can expect it by the end of February, and most likely in March.” Russian aviation security experts had visited Egypt earlier this month to inspect security at the Sharm El Sheikh and Hurghada airports.
