Egypt feels let down by the UK for keeping the flight suspension to Sharm El Sheikh, BBC’s Frank Gardner writes. “We have implemented all the recommendations made for improvements at Sharm and received regular and positive reports back from the UK. This means that Sharm el-Sheikh is comparable to the safest airports in the world, and yet it seems to have had no effect on the UK flight ban” an unnamed Egyptian official told BBC. The UK’s Department for Transport commented on the continued ban saying both sides are working closely on security procedures and that flights will resume as soon as possible.
