LONDON (Sputnik) — On Wednesday, the UK government concluded the Russian A321 passenger jet crash on the Sinai Peninsula may have been caused by a bomb explosion.
"Ministers agreed… to work urgently with the airlines and the Egyptian authorities with the aim of getting some flights up and running as soon as possible so that we can get people already in Sharm el-Sheikh back safely to the UK as soon as possible. This will take time and so there will be no flights returning from Sharm el-Sheikh tomorrow," the statement published Wednesday read.
Earlier in the day, UK authorities suspended all flights to and from Sharm el-Sheikh until additional security measures have been taken.
On Saturday, a Kogalymavia-operated Airbus A321 crashed en route from the Egyptian resort city of Sharm El-Sheikh to the Russian city of St. Petersburg, All 224 people on board, including 25 children, were killed.
