Talks with Russia to resume charter flights back on after World Cup: “The talks on opening charter flights to Egyptian resort cities will be resumed after the 2018 FIFA World Cup,” Russia’s Transport Minister Yevgeny Ditrikh said on Thursday. Representatives of the Egypt’s Civil Aviation Ministry have visited Russia during the 2018 FIFA World Cup to discuss the timeline of the talks, said Ditrikh, according to TASS. Russia had restored direct flights between Cairo and Moscow in April following a ban instituted since the Metrojet crash in 2015.

UK flights to Sharm also in play? UK travel newspaper TTG had said back in March that the UK could reconsider its ban on flights to Sharm El Sheikh if Russia was to lift its restrictions, citing sources.
