Russia suspends all flights to Egypt Friday Nov 06,2015

Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to suspend all Russian flights to Egypt after a recommendation by his chief of intelligence for a halt until the cause of the crash of a passenger jet in the Sinai Peninsula is determined.

Friday Nov 06,2015's suspension came after several days of statements by British and American officials that it was possible a bomb on board had brought down the Russian carrier, Metrojet's Airbus A321-200, which crashed 23 minutes after takeoff from the Sinai resort of Sharm el-Sheikh.

There are around 45,000 Russian tourists in Egypt
