Russia Not Considering Flight Bans to Other Countries Except for Egypt

The Russian Ministry of Transport is not considering possible bans on flights to other countries except for Egypt, Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov said Wednesday.

PETROZAVODSK (Sputnik) – In the beginning of November, Russia canceled all flights to Egypt after a Russian A321 plane crashed over the Sinai Peninsula killing all 224 on board.

On Tuesday, Russia deemed the air crash was due to a homemade bomb exploding on the aircraft causing it to disintegrate in mid-air.

“We are not reviewing this issue as of now,” Sokolov told journalists.
