Egypt Diversifying Tourism Sources After Flight Suspension to Country
ST. PETERSBURG (Sputnik) — Security situation in Egyptian airports remains on the same level, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets said Friday.

"There has been no information on the resumption of the tourist flow to Egypt yet, unfortunately, the situation remains the same, and to give some promise to citizens, would mean to put them in dangerous conditions," Golodets told RIA Novosti in an interview. 

Russia, along with several other countries, including the United Kingdom, suspended flights to Egypt over safety concerns after an Airbus A321 crashed en route from Sharm el-Sheikh to St. Petersburg, killing all 224 people on board after an explosive device detonation.
