Russia and Egypt are to resume direct flights on Wednesday April 11,2018 following a
more than two-year hiatus after a bomb downed a Russian charter over the
Sinai peninsula in 2015.
Moscow officials stopped direct flights citing security concerns after the attack, in a major blow for the Egyptian economy, which relies heavily on tourism and had been a popular destination for Russians.
On Wednesday evening April 11,2018 an Aeroflot plane is due to take off from Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport to Cairo, in a first step towards restoring flights to holiday destinations on the Red Sea.
On Thursday April 12,2018, Egyptair will restart its service between the two capitals, and the two companies will together carry out five return flights between Moscow and Cairo a week.
