Romania preliminarily approves resuming flights to Egypt’s Red Sea destinations

Romania has agreed in principle to resume direct flights to and from Red Sea destinations following a four-year hiatus, Egyptian-Romanian Business Council vice chairman Amina Fahmy said, according to Youm7. The issue was a point of discussion with tourism companies at the Egyptian-Romanian Business Council meetings in Bucharest last month. Egypt was hoping for direct flights between Cairo and Bucharest to resume this month, after they were halted following the downing of the Russian airliner over Sinai in 2015.
